Great looks, wearable comfort, and iconic status. It has its minor flaws in breathability and a firm ride, but the overall package is strong. If you've been wanting a clean, classic 4, this is a great choice. Go for it. 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 wings. The cushioning? It's firm. You're not getting Zoom Air comfort here, it's that classic '80s/90s feel. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. It's a different experience from modern performance shoes. 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. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's not as sleek as a 1, not as bulky as a 6. The support system is unique with those wings. Versus a modern Jordan like a 36? It's a totally different world—this is about heritage style, not performance tech.
