It's less sleek than a 1 but has more presence. The ankle collar is higher than a 3, giving better support. It's a unique chunkiness that defines the late '80s/early '90s era. If you like that retro basketball aesthetic, this is a prime example. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I laced up these "Air Jordan 4 Retros", and the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is great, really locks you in. But let's be real – the cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards. You feel the Air unit, but it's more of a firm, stable ride. Not the most comfortable Jordan ever, but it's fine for casual wear. The weight feels pretty average, nothing too heavy. Who should maybe skip? If you're on a tight budget—$210+ is a lot for a shoe with "retro" comfort. Also, if you need shoes for lots of walking or standing, I'd recommend something more modern. The "Jordan 4 Retro" is more about style than performance nowadays. My final take? I'm really liking this Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro. It lives up to the hype for me. The look is flawless, and it feels solid. Just go in knowing it's a style-first, comfort-second kind of shoe. It's a cornerstone release for any serious collection.
