Also, if you prefer a more streamlined, low-profile sneaker, the bulk of the Air Jordan 4 might not be your thing. It's a style-first shoe, remember that. Now, a potential con: the toe box creasing. It's just part of the deal with this model - the soft leather/nubuck will crease. Also, the ventilation isn't amazing; your feet might get warm. And at ~$210 USD, it's an investment. If you want a super breathable, ultra-light daily runner, this isn't it. The major pros? Timeless design, durable build, and great ankle support. The Air Jordan 4 is a legend for a reason. It's a shoe you can wear for years and it still looks relevant. The materials on this retro are generally good, and it's a super versatile sneaker for both fits and occasions. 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.
