First impression? The shape is on point, and that classic color blocking is just "chef's kiss". The quality feels solid right out of the box. For $210 USD, you're getting a piece of Jordan history, no doubt. Let's get these on feet. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me, with a good, secure lockdown around the midfoot from those plastic wings. The cushioning? It's firm. Don't expect Boost or ZoomX softness here. The Air Jordan 4 has that classic, supportive feel—it's comfortable for all-day wear, but it's not a "cloud" by any means. You feel stable, though. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits in a nice middle ground. It's more substantial and has more tech (visually) than an AJ1, but it's often more wearable than the super-techy later models. The price point of $210 is pretty standard for a retro these days. You're paying for that legacy and this specific, beloved colorway. Who might want to pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, or if you find the $210 USD price tag steep for a retro with simpler tech, you might look at other options. It's an investment in style, not just comfort.
