That padded tongue and collar can feel a bit stiff and warm at first. If you like a super-breathable, lightweight shoe, this might not be it. Also, the price point at $210 USD is getting up there for a retro release. 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 wing eyelets. They're not the lightest shoe, you definitely feel the structure, but it's a comfortable, supportive feel. The air unit in the heel? You can feel it, but it's more about stability than crazy cushioning. 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. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The cushioning is... okay. It's not super plush like modern performance shoes, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The Air unit in the heel does its job. The lockdown from the wings is good. It's a comfortable, classic basketball sneaker feel.
