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. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 is stiffer than an AJ1 or AJ3. Less bulky than an AJ5, though. It sits right in the middle. If you want cloud-like comfort, look at the AJ13. But for pure style points? This model holds its own in the Jordan series, for sure. My final take? For me, the Nike Air Jordan 4 is a must-have for any well-rounded collection. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan line. While not the comfiest, its style and heritage are unmatched. At this price point, you know what you're getting. I'd recommend it, but with those comfort caveats. On feet, walking around? The "Nike Air Jordan 4" has a distinct, slightly stiff feel at first. The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's more about impact protection than bounce. The shoe isn't heavy, but you feel its presence. Break-in is real with these; they'll get more comfortable with wear, I can already tell.
