.. 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. Now, for some real talk - potential cons. The toe box on the Air Jordan 4 can feel a bit narrow for people with wider feet. Also, the outsole is flat, so traction on wet surfaces isn't the best. If you're looking for a performance basketball shoe or max comfort, this retro isn't really built for that. 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. 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.
