The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's more about impact protection than bounce. The shoe isn't heavy, but you feel its presence. Break-in is real with these; they'll get more comfortable with wear, I can already tell. Now, potential cons? The toe box... it's narrow. If you have wider feet, you might need to size up or prepare for some tightness. Also, the ankle collar can rub a bit at first. It's not a "slip-on-and-forget" kind of shoe. You have to wear it in to get the best feel. My final take? I'm really liking this Air Jordan 4. It's a straightforward, well-executed retro. The Jordan series has many highs, and this is one of them. Would I recommend it? Yes, especially if you dig the colorway. It's a versatile addition to any rotation. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else—like a Boost or React feel—you might be disappointed. Also, if you have very narrow feet, the fit might feel a bit loose in the toebox area of this Jordan 4.
