It's perfect for casual wear, not intense basketball. If you love the 'Military Blue' colorway or the 90s vibe, you'll love this Nike Air Jordan 4. It's a wardrobe staple. Now, potential cons? That firm cushioning I mentioned might not be for everyone, especially if you're used to plush sneakers. The ankle collar can rub a bit at first until it breaks in. And at around $210 USD, it's a premium price for a retro that doesn't have modern comfort tech. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's not as sleek as a 1, not as bulky as a 6. The support system is unique with those wings. Versus a modern Jordan like a 36? It's a totally different world—this is about heritage style, not performance tech. 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.
