If you're used to modern, foam-based sneakers, these might feel a bit stiff and heavy at first. They need a brief break-in period. Also, that ankle collar can rub if you wear low-cut socks. It's not for everyone, especially if all-day, cloud-like comfort is your top priority. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits lower and feels more structured than an Air Jordan 1. It's also less bulky than an Air Jordan 5 or 6. For me, the AJ4 strikes a great balance between a high-top and a mid-top. It's easier to style with different pants compared to some of the taller models in the Jordan series. 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. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The cushioning is... okay. It's not super plush like modern performance shoes, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The Air unit in the heel does its job. The lockdown from the wings is good. It's a comfortable, classic basketball sneaker feel.
