First impression? The quality is solid. The nubuck feels decent, and that classic Air Jordan 4 silhouette is just iconic, man. Unboxing this colorway, especially, feels like a real piece of history. The price was around $210 USD, which is standard for a Jordan retro these days. On feet now. The Air Jordan 4 cushioning is... okay. It's firm, not super plush. The lockdown is good, though! The heel tab and wings system work. They're a bit heavier than I expected, honestly. Not the most comfortable Jordan, but it's a solid, supportive feel. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits differently than a Jordan 1. It's bulkier, more of a statement. The cushioning is also different—more impact protection than the 1s, but not as plush as, say, a Jordan 13. It occupies its own unique space in the Jordan series, and that's why it's so beloved. Who might want to pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, or if you find the $210 USD price tag steep for a retro with simpler tech, you might look at other options. It's an investment in style, not just comfort.
