It's an investment in style, not just comfort. Comparing it to other "Jordans"? The "4" sits right between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's not as sleek as a 1, and it's definitely heavier than a 3. But that's part of its charm – it's got its own distinct, rugged personality within the "Jordan series". It's a statement piece, for sure. 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. Now, the potential downsides of the "Air Jordan 4". The toe box can feel a bit rigid for some people – it needs a break-in period. And if you're used to modern, ultra-plush sneakers, the cushioning here might feel a bit dated. It's comfortable, but don't expect Boost or ZoomX levels of cloud-like feel.
