It has its flaws (comfort isn't top-tier), but its strengths (design, durability) are why it's loved. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you value design history and a solid wardrobe staple. Just manage your comfort expectations out of the box. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's chunkier than a 3, but I think it has more of a modern, wearable shape. The 4 is less bulky than a Jordan 5 or 6. For casual wear, the AJ4 is probably one of the most versatile models in the entire Jordan series lineup. 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. My final take? I'm keeping my pair. The Nike Air Jordan 4 is a cornerstone of the Jordan series. The flaws (stiffness, creasing) are part of its character. It's a style icon first, a comfort shoe second. If you get it on a slight discount? Even better.
