Performance basketball players should choose modern models. Also, if you prefer low-profile, minimal sneakers, the AJ4's chunkiness might not be your vibe. It's a statement piece. Major pros? Timeless style, for sure. The build quality on my pair is good – no glue stains or major flaws. It's also surprisingly breathable for a mostly-leather shoe because of that side mesh. The Nike Air Jordan 4 is just a solid, all-around classic that never really goes out of style. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1. It's also a bit bulkier than a Jordan 3. But that's its charm! It has a unique, chunky profile that I really love. For casual wear, I might prefer this over some of the lower-cut models. On feet now. The Air Jordan 4 cushioning is... okay. It's firm, not super plush. The lockdown is good, though! The heel tab and wings system work. They're a bit heavier than I expected, honestly. Not the most comfortable Jordan, but it's a solid, supportive feel.
