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. Unboxing these, the quality is decent. You get that iconic Air Jordan 4 silhouette with the plastic wing eyelets and mesh panels. The 'Military Blue' hits are perfect. It's not the most premium build ever, but for a retro, it's what I expected. Definitely a head-turner for any sneaker collection. On feet now, and the comfort is decent. It's a firm, supportive ride, not super plush. The lockdown is good, but the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. Compared to a Jordan 1, the AJ4 definitely has more of that 90s basketball shoe feel. It's a statement piece, for sure. Putting these Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is fantastic—really locks you in. The Air unit in the heel? You feel it, but it's not super plush like some modern sneakers. It's a firm, supportive cushioning that I actually prefer for all-day wear.
