Also, if you have very wide feet, that break-in period in the toe box could be a real hassle. 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. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's more structured than a 1, and the support is different from a low-top. If you like a mid-top with a defined silhouette, this is your jam. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Who might want to skip it? If ultimate, all-day comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Performance basketball players should choose modern models. Also, if you prefer low-profile, minimal sneakers, the AJ4's chunkiness might not be your vibe. It's a statement piece.
