Also, if you prefer a super lightweight or minimal sneaker, the "Jordan 4 Retro's" bulk and weight might feel off. It's a specific look and feel. For pure performance basketball? Obviously not. It's a lifestyle icon first. Now, the cons. The main one? Breathability. Those solid leather and plastic areas don't let your foot breathe much on a hot day. Also, the toe box can crease in a noticeable way—some people hate that. It's not the most comfortable shoe for all-day walking, in my honest opinion. Major pro? Versatility. This "Air Jordan 4 Retro" goes with "so" many fits – jeans, joggers, shorts. It's a style staple. The durability seems good too; the materials can take a beating. For a retro basketball shoe, it works surprisingly well as a casual, everyday wear. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "4 Retro" is chunkier than a "Jordan 1", for sure. It's more substantial and offers a bit more tech (at least in feel) than the 1s or 3s. The ankle collar is different from the 5s... it's its own thing. In the "Jordan series", the 4 sits in a sweet spot between classic style and a slightly more modern (for its time) build.
