Cushioning-wise, it's firmer than a Jordan 13, for sure. But that's part of its charm—it's got its own identity. If you love the chunkier silhouette of the 4s, this 'Military Blue' retro is one of the best executions of that design, hands down. Here's a real pro: versatility. You can rock these "Jordan 4 Retros" with jeans, joggers, shorts... they just work. The build quality on this release seems consistent, no major glue stains or flaws on my pair. For a classic sneaker from the Jordan series, it hits the mark for what collectors and wearers expect. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I went TTS, and the fit is good—snug but not tight. The cushioning from the Air unit in the heel? It's there, but don't expect Boost-level softness. It's a firm, supportive ride, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. The "Air Jordan 4 Retro" is comfortable, but it's more about stability than plush comfort. Now, the cons... or rather, things to consider. The toe box can feel a bit stiff initially—it needs some break-in time. Also, if you're used to ultra-soft, modern foam cushioning, the "Air Jordan 4" might feel a bit firm. It's a 1989 design, after all. The price? Yeah, $210 USD is steep for a retro, but that's the market now.
