It's also less bulky than an Air Jordan 5 or 6. For me, the AJ4 strikes a great balance between a high-top and a mid-top. It's easier to style with different pants compared to some of the taller models in the Jordan series. Let's talk on-feet. Slipping into this "Jordan 4", the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is "immediate" – you really feel locked in. It's not the lightest shoe, you definitely notice the weight, but it's not uncomfortable. The cushioning from the Air unit is there, but it's more about stability than crazy softness, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. In summary: The "Nike Air Jordan 4" is a legend. This release does it justice. It's a must for collectors of the Jordan series and a great first AJ4 for newcomers. Just go in knowing its character – it's a sturdy, stylish icon, not a modern comfort king. Hope this honest review helps you decide! Who might want to skip it? If you need maximum cushioning for all-day standing, look at newer models. Also, if you prefer a more streamlined, low-profile sneaker, the bulk of the Air Jordan 4 might not be your thing. It's a style-first shoe, remember that.
