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. 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. Now, a potential con? The toe box can be a bit stiff and boxy for some foot shapes. It might require a break-in period. Also, the traction on super smooth surfaces isn't the best. It's a lifestyle shoe first, so don't expect elite court performance from this retro. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's chunkier than a 3, but I think it has more of a modern, wearable shape. The 4 is less bulky than a Jordan 5 or 6. For casual wear, the AJ4 is probably one of the most versatile models in the entire Jordan series lineup.
