It's not as plush as a well-worn AJ3, but it's more comfortable than a stiff AJ5 out of the box. The silhouette is more angular and bulky than the 1s or 3s, which is part of its charm. It's a distinct look within the "Jordan series". Now, a potential con: the outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. It needs some break-in time. Also, if you're used to modern, super-plush sneakers, the cushioning here might feel a bit basic or dated. In summary, the Nike Air Jordan 4 delivers on its legacy. Great looks, decent comfort, and timeless style. It's not a perfect performance shoe today, but as a lifestyle icon? It's absolutely still at the top of its game. A solid cop. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4's upper provides a secure, locked-down feel, which I really like. It's not the lightest shoe ever, but you feel that stability. The cushioning from the Air unit is firm but comfortable—great for all-day wear. It’s a classic feel that Jordan heads know and love.
