The 4 offers more structure and that unique, bulky-yet-sleek look. Versus a Jordan 3, the 4 is less rounded and has those iconic plastic wing eyelets and mesh panels. I think the Jordan 4 has a more technical, "futuristic" (for its time) vibe. It stands out in the Jordan line for sure. On foot now. The Air Jordan 4 has that familiar, slightly firm cushioning. It's comfortable for all-day wear, not super plush like modern runners. The lockdown is good, and the weight feels average. It's a true Jordan series experience—reliable, not revolutionary. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else—like a Boost or React feel—you might be disappointed. Also, if you have very narrow feet, the fit might feel a bit loose in the toebox area of this Jordan 4. 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.
