Also, if you prefer more flexible, minimalist shoes, the structured build of the Jordan 4 might not be for you. It's about the look and legacy here. 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. 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. Let's talk pros. The biggest advantage of this Nike Air Jordan 4 is the style—it's an iconic silhouette that goes with almost anything. The build quality on this release is consistent. I also appreciate the ventilation from the mesh side panels; it helps a bit with breathability. For $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's still very wearable today. That's a win.
