Versus a Jordan 3, I'd say the 4 feels more structured and locked down. It's a different kind of comfort—more about support than sinking-in softness. If you like that substantial, protective feel, you'll appreciate this. A major pro of this shoe is its versatility. You can dress it up or down, and this specific colorway goes with almost anything. The build on this retro is also pretty consistent. It's a reliable release from Nike. Now, a potential con: the ventilation isn't great. Those solid leather and plastic areas don't breathe much. Also, if you're used to super soft, bouncy sneakers like some modern runners, the Air Jordan 4's cushioning might feel a bit dated or too firm for you. Just being real. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate, all-day comfort above all else, there are more modern options. Also, if you have a very wide foot, the fit might be restrictive. It's a classic design, not always geared for modern comfort standards.
