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. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize feather-light weight and maximal cushioning above all else, look at modern running shoes. If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable options. Also, if you hate noticeable creasing on your sneakers, the Jordan 4's design might stress you out a bit. Let's talk on-feet. Slipping into these Air Jordan 4s, the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown is good, but let's be real—the cushioning isn't modern "boost" level. It's firm, but in a familiar, classic way. You're getting that '80s/90s basketball shoe feel, which I don't mind for casual wear. The weight is noticeable but not overly heavy. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the Jordan 4 sits higher than a Jordan 1 and has more structure than a Jordan 3. The cushioning is firmer than the newer, more tech-heavy models. It's a different experience—more about classic style and that iconic profile than modern performance.
