The ankle collar can rub a bit at first until it breaks in. And at around $210 USD, it's a premium price for a retro that doesn't have modern comfort tech. On foot, the design really pops. The Military Blue accents against the white and grey work so well. In natural light, the materials look great on camera. The Air Jordan 4 has a bulky profile, but it's a stylish bulk, you know? It gives you that confident, substantial look. For a retro, it holds up visually. Who might want to pass? If you're purely chasing cloud-like comfort, look at something like a New Balance or a modern Nike runner. Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit can be narrow in the midfoot. And if you hate visible creasing on your sneakers, this model might give you some anxiety. Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown is decent, thanks to those plastic wing eyelets. The cushioning? It's firm, but in a good, supportive way—you feel that Air unit in the heel. It's not super plush like some modern sneakers, but for a retro, it's comfortable enough for all-day wear, honestly.
