.. initial thoughts? The fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot from those plastic wings is "immediate" and really secure. It's not a super plush, modern feel—you definitely feel the firmness of the midsole. But hey, that's part of the classic Jordan DNA, right? Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot is good, thanks to those plastic wings. The cushioning? It's firm. You're not getting Zoom Air comfort here, it's that classic '80s/90s feel. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. It's a different experience from modern performance shoes. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The forefoot lockdown is good, but the ankle collar? It's a bit stiff initially, like most 4s. The Air Sole unit gives you that familiar, firm cushioning—it's not super plush, but it's reliable for all-day wear. Definitely a comfortable sneaker. Now, a potential con? The outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of.
