For anyone wanting a classic, versatile Jordan that isn't an AJ1. If you love the '80s/'90s basketball shoe aesthetic, this is a must-have. The Nike Air Jordan 4, especially in this color, is a cornerstone of any collection. Who should skip it? If supreme, cloud-like comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Also, if you have very wide feet, definitely try before you buy. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is a commitment for a shoe that needs a break-in period. It's an investment in style over immediate comfort. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less sleek than a 1, but has more going on than a 3. The comfort is different from an AJ11, which is more court-focused. This is a lifestyle/retro basketball hybrid. It has its own unique place in the Jordan series lineage, no doubt. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher on the ankle than a Jordan 1 or 3. Cushioning is firmer than a Jordan 11 or 12. It's its own thing. If you like that mid-top support and a chunkier profile, this is your model. It's a definitive style within the Jordan series.
