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. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate cushioning above all, look at React or Boost models. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug.
