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. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultra-lightweight or maximal cushioning above all else, the Air Jordan 4 might feel a bit clunky. Also, if you need a super breathable shoe for summer, look elsewhere. It's a specific vibe and feel that won't suit every single person's performance or comfort preferences. Big pro for the Air Jordan 4: durability. The materials on this version can take a beating. The outsole is tough, and the upper won't crease too badly. It's a shoe you can actually wear often without babying it. For a $210 USD sneaker, that's important. It's built like a tank, in the best way possible. 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.
