You're getting a well-made, iconic shoe. But if you're just chasing hype or max comfort, maybe look elsewhere. For me, this Air Jordan 4 is a solid 8.5/10. Bottom line from my experience: The Nike Air Jordan 4 delivers on its promise. It looks incredible on foot, the quality is there, and it connects you to sneaker culture. It's not a perfect, modern shoe, but it's a near-perfect icon. Would I recommend it? For most collectors and style-focused folks, absolutely yes. Just maybe try them on first if you can. 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 about the on-foot feel. I laced up these Air Jordan 4s, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's firm – it's that classic Air unit in the heel. Don't expect crazy, bouncy comfort like some modern shoes. The ankle collar gives good support, though. It's a comfortable shoe, but it's more about that iconic feel than plush softness, for sure.
