If you're on your feet all day and need modern cushioning, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer a minimal, low-profile sneaker, the Air Jordan 4's chunkiness might not be your vibe. It's a statement piece, not a barefoot-feel shoe. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize all-day, max comfort above all else, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers, the AJ4's high-top design might not be your vibe. It's a style and heritage purchase, first and foremost. 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. 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.
