Also, if your priority is cutting-edge cushioning tech for all-day standing or sport, you might be disappointed. The $210 USD price is for the heritage and style, not for modern performance features. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 sits higher on the ankle than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's also noticeably heavier than a Jordan 11. But that's part of its charm—it has a substantial, protective feel. The toebox is roomier than some later models, which is a plus for wider feet. On feet now, and the comfort is decent. It's a firm, supportive ride, not super plush. The lockdown is good, but the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. Compared to a Jordan 1, the AJ4 definitely has more of that 90s basketball shoe feel. It's a statement piece, for sure. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultra-lightweight or maximal cushioning above all else, the Air Jordan 4 might feel a bit clunky. Also, if you need a super breathable shoe for summer, look elsewhere. It's a specific vibe and feel that won't suit every single person's performance or comfort preferences.
