The main drawback for some will be the comfort tech—or lack thereof. It's a 1989 cushioning setup. If you're used to modern performance shoes, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck upper? It can be a dirt magnet, especially in this light colorway. You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. My final take? I'm really liking this Air Jordan 4. It delivers exactly what you expect: a classic, stylish silhouette with decent comfort. It's not trying to be something it's not. For a retro, the execution is on point. Would I recommend it? For fans of the model, absolutely. It's a staple. Now, potential cons... The toe box creases easily, that's just the nature of the leather. Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit might be snug. And like I said, if you're used to modern, bouncy cushioning like React or Boost, the Air unit in these might feel a bit dated. It's something to consider. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher and is more structured than an AJ1. It's also noticeably heavier than an AJ11. For comfort, a Jordan 13 or later model might beat it. But for pure style and that timeless look? The AJ4 holds its own in the Jordan series, no question.
