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. Unboxing these, the shape is perfect. The mesh panels and those plastic wings—they look exactly how you remember. This 'Military Blue' Jordan 4 is clean. It’s not a crazy loud shoe, which I actually prefer for versatility. My first impression is really positive; it feels like a well-made retro. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher on the ankle than a Jordan 1 or 3. Cushioning is firmer than a Jordan 11 or 12. It's its own thing. If you like that mid-top support and a chunkier profile, this is your model. It's a definitive style within the Jordan series. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The Air unit in the heel gives a nice, familiar cushioning. It's not the most plush Jordan ever, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The upper is supportive without being restrictive. For a retro, the Air Jordan 4 still delivers a reliable on-foot feel.
