Nike air jordan 4 : Now, a potential con? The outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially [fd61c6b7]

It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the Jordan 4 sits higher than a Jordan 1 and has more structure than a Jordan 3. The cushioning is firmer than the newer, more tech-heavy models. It's a different experience—more about classic style and that iconic profile than modern performance. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, maybe look at newer models. The price, $210, is steep for some for a retro. If you're not into maintenance, the light-colored nubuck might stress you out. It's a lifestyle piece first. Who should maybe skip it? If you have very wide feet, definitely try these on first. Also, if your priority is cutting-edge cushioning tech for all-day standing or sport, you might be disappointed. The $210 USD price is for the heritage and style, not for modern performance features.
