The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's more about impact protection than bounce. The shoe isn't heavy, but you feel its presence. Break-in is real with these; they'll get more comfortable with wear, I can already tell. Now, potential cons. The toe box can crease noticeably. Some find the strap system unnecessary. At $210, some might want more modern comfort. If you need max cushion, this isn't it. The Jordan 4 is about style and heritage over pure performance. 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. Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown is decent, thanks to those plastic wing eyelets. The cushioning? It's firm, but in a good, supportive way—you feel that Air unit in the heel. It's not super plush like some modern sneakers, but for a retro, it's comfortable enough for all-day wear, honestly.
