The Air Jordan 4 has a snug, secure feel around the midfoot, which I like. The cushioning from the Air unit in the heel? It's decent for casual wear, but don't expect ultra-plush, modern comfort. It's a firm, supportive ride that's perfect for all-day wear without being bulky. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the Jordan 4 sits higher than a Jordan 1 and has more structure than a Jordan 3. The cushioning is firmer than the newer, more tech-heavy models. It's a different experience—more about classic style and that iconic profile than modern performance. So, who is this Air Jordan 4 for? Honestly, it's for collectors and casual wearers who love the classic look. If you're into '80s/'90s basketball aesthetics, this is a must. It's also great for anyone wanting a sturdy, statement sneaker that goes with a lot of fits. The Jordan series heritage is a big part of the appeal here. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits lower and feels more grounded than an AJ1. It's also less bulky than an AJ5. For $210, you're getting a piece of history with a very distinct, blocky silhouette that the Jordan series is famous for. It's a different vibe entirely from a Jordan 11, for example.
