The cushioning is also different—more of a firm, responsive feel compared to the softer, pillowy setup in something like a Jordan 13. It's a distinct experience. On foot now. The Air Jordan 4 has that familiar, slightly firm cushioning. It's comfortable for all-day wear, not super plush like modern runners. The lockdown is good, and the weight feels average. It's a true Jordan series experience—reliable, not revolutionary. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 has a decent comfort level. It's not super plush like some modern shoes, but the Air unit in the heel does its job. The lockdown is pretty good once you lace them up. For a retro basketball shoe, the feel is what I anticipated—supportive but not exactly a cloud. So, who is this Air Jordan 4 for? Honestly, it's for collectors and casual wearers who love the classic look. If you're into '80s/'90s basketball aesthetics, this is a must. It's also great for anyone wanting a sturdy, statement sneaker that goes with a lot of fits. The Jordan series heritage is a big part of the appeal here.
