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. So, is it worth the $210 USD? If you love the design and history, absolutely. You're getting a well-made, iconic shoe. But if you're just chasing hype or max comfort, maybe look elsewhere. For me, this Air Jordan 4 is a solid 8.5/10. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 4" sits right between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's got more structure than the 3, but it's not as tech-heavy or angular as the 5. If you like a shoe with presence and a defined heel, this is your jam. The "Nike Air Jordan 4" really holds its own in the lineage. Now, potential cons... The toe box creases easily – that's just the nature of the materials. Also, if you need extreme cushioning, look elsewhere. The Air Jordan 4 is about style and heritage over cloud-like comfort. The price, $210, might also be steep for some for a retro that hasn't changed much tech-wise.
