.. 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. My final take? I'm really liking this "Nike Air Jordan 4". It's not a perfect, comfy-all-day shoe, but few retros are. For its looks, heritage, and versatility, it's a win. At $210 USD, it feels justified for such an iconic model. Would I recommend it? Yeah, especially if you dig the colorway. Now, potential cons... The toe box creases easily – that's just the nature of the materials. Also, if you need extreme cushioning, look elsewhere. The Air Jordan 4 is about style and heritage over cloud-like comfort. The price, $210, might also be steep for some for a retro that hasn't changed much tech-wise. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 has a decent comfort level. It's not super plush like some modern shoes, but the Air unit in the heel does its job. The lockdown is pretty good once you lace them up. For a retro basketball shoe, the feel is what I anticipated—supportive but not exactly a cloud.
