Nike air jordan 4 : Potential downside? The break-in [kcf9d7j2]

The heel collar can be stiff at first and might rub. Also, the outsole traction on dust can be just okay. If you want a super soft, cloud-like step-in feel, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 4 is about heritage and style over max comfort tech. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, maybe look at newer models. The price, $210, is steep for some for a retro. If you're not into maintenance, the light-colored nubuck might stress you out. It's a lifestyle piece first. Big pro for the Air Jordan 4: durability. The materials on this version can take a beating. The outsole is tough, and the upper won't crease too badly. It's a shoe you can actually wear often without babying it. For a $210 USD sneaker, that's important. It's built like a tank, in the best way possible. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 cushioning is firm but comfortable – it's not super plush like modern runners, but you get that nice, stable ride. The lockdown around the midfoot is great thanks to those iconic wings. Honestly, a very wearable sneaker right out of the box.
