You're paying for iconic design, good materials, and that Jordan Brand heritage. It's an investment in a piece of sneaker history that you can also wear comfortably. I think it's justified. On foot now, and the initial comfort is... okay. It's a retro, so don't expect Boost or ZoomX. The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's firm. The lockdown from the wings and laces is actually really good—my foot feels secure. For a Jordan 4, it's not too heavy. It's a comfortable shoe for casual wear, but I wouldn't run in it, obviously. The break-in period is real with these. Major pros? Timeless style, for sure. The build quality on my pair is good – no glue stains or major flaws. It's also surprisingly breathable for a mostly-leather shoe because of that side mesh. The Nike Air Jordan 4 is just a solid, all-around classic that never really goes out of style. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher and is more structured than an AJ1. It's also noticeably heavier than an AJ11. For comfort, a Jordan 13 or later model might beat it. But for pure style and that timeless look? The AJ4 holds its own in the Jordan series, no question.
