It's chunkier than a Jordan 3, but I think it has more presence. The comfort is different—less pillowy than a Jordan 13, but more stable for casual wear, in my opinion. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits differently than a Jordan 1. It's bulkier, more of a statement. The cushioning is also different—more impact protection than the 1s, but not as plush as, say, a Jordan 13. It occupies its own unique space in the Jordan series, and that's why it's so beloved. Now, a potential con: the toe box creasing. It's just part of the deal with this model - the soft leather/nubuck will crease. Also, the ventilation isn't amazing; your feet might get warm. And at ~$210 USD, it's an investment. If you want a super breathable, ultra-light daily runner, this isn't it. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize feather-light weight and maximal cushioning above all else, look at modern running shoes. If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable options. Also, if you hate noticeable creasing on your sneakers, the Jordan 4's design might stress you out a bit.
