.. okay. It's a retro, so don't expect Boost or ZoomX. The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's firm. The lockdown from the wings and laces is actually really good—my foot feels secure. For a Jordan 4, it's not too heavy. It's a comfortable shoe for casual wear, but I wouldn't run in it, obviously. The break-in period is real with these. Now, for some real talk - potential cons. The toe box on the Air Jordan 4 can feel a bit narrow for people with wider feet. Also, the outsole is flat, so traction on wet surfaces isn't the best. If you're looking for a performance basketball shoe or max comfort, this retro isn't really built for that. On foot now... The fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's okay—not super plush like modern performance shoes, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The Air Jordan 4 has that classic, slightly firm feel. The lockdown is good, no heel slip. It's a comfortable, reliable sneaker. Now, a potential con? The toe box can be a bit stiff and boxy for some foot shapes. It might require a break-in period. Also, the traction on super smooth surfaces isn't the best. It's a lifestyle shoe first, so don't expect elite court performance from this retro.
