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. Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot is good, thanks to those plastic wings. The cushioning? It's firm. You're not getting Zoom Air comfort here, it's that classic '80s/90s feel. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. It's a different experience from modern performance shoes. 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. Who might want to pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, or if you find the $210 USD price tag steep for a retro with simpler tech, you might look at other options. It's an investment in style, not just comfort.
