It's a straightforward, well-executed retro. The Jordan series has many highs, and this is one of them. Would I recommend it? Yes, especially if you dig the colorway. It's a versatile addition to any rotation. Who might want to pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, or if you find the $210 USD price tag steep for a retro with simpler tech, you might look at other options. It's an investment in style, not just comfort. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less bulky than a 5, but has more structure than a 3. The cushioning is firmer than an AJ1, for sure. If you like that retro, supportive build, this is a great pick. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate cushioning above all, look at React or Boost models. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is an investment. But for the design? I think it's worth it.
