If you're on a tight budget, $210 is a commitment. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers for mobility, the high-cut collar of the AJ4 might not be your thing. It's a specific vibe. Putting these Jordan 4s on for the first time... the fit is pretty true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot is good, thanks to those plastic wings. But let's be real, the cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards. It's firm, but comfortable for all-day wear. You're buying these for the style, not for a cloud-like feel, honestly. Comparing it to my other Jordans, the 4 sits uniquely. It's bulkier than a 3, more structured than a 5. It has its own identity in the Jordan series lineage. The price is consistent with other retros. It's a foundational sneaker in any collection. So, is it worth the $210 USD? If you love the design and history, absolutely. You're getting a well-made, iconic shoe. But if you're just chasing hype or max comfort, maybe look elsewhere. For me, this Air Jordan 4 is a solid 8.5/10.
