First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and the quality on these feels solid right out of the box. That classic silhouette, man... it's just iconic. You're looking at around $210 USD for these. Let's get them on feet. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less bulky than a 5, but has more structure than a 3. The cushioning is firmer than an AJ1, for sure. If you like that retro, supportive build, this is a great pick. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 4" has a bit of a break-in period, honestly. Initial step-in comfort is okay—you definitely feel that heel Air unit—but the forefoot is a little firm out of the box. The lockdown from the wings and laces is good, though. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that sturdy construction. Who should maybe skip it? If you're purely chasing performance or the softest step – this isn't it. Also, if you prefer more modern, streamlined silhouettes, the chunky look of the Air Jordan 4 might not be your thing. For $210, you really have to want "this specific" classic look.
