It needs some break-in time. Also, if you're used to modern, super-plush sneakers, the cushioning here might feel a bit basic or dated. Who are these for? Honestly, they're perfect for the casual sneakerhead who values style and comfort. If you love the Jordan series, especially the 4s, this is a must-have. They're also great for anyone wanting a versatile, statement sneaker that works with jeans or joggers. A solid all-arounder. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less sleek than a 1, but has more going on than a 3. The comfort is different from an AJ11, which is more court-focused. This is a lifestyle/retro basketball hybrid. It has its own unique place in the Jordan series lineage, no doubt. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, you might want to look at newer tech models. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a significant chunk for a retro shoe with firm cushioning. And if you already have multiple Jordan 4s, this colorway, while iconic, might not feel essential.
