I laced up these "Air Jordan 4s" and... yeah, it's a classic experience. The cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards, but you get that familiar, stable feel. The ankle collar gives good support, though it can feel a bit stiff initially. If you're used to modern, bouncy sneakers, this might take some getting used to. Conversely, who might want to skip it? If you prioritize lightweight, flexible shoes for all-day walking or standing, the "Jordan 4's" weight and structure might not be for you. Also, if you have very wide feet, that break-in period in the toe box could be a real hassle. Comparing it to other Jordans, the Air Jordan 4 sits in a nice middle ground. It's more substantial than an AJ1, but often more wearable than a bulkier AJ5 or AJ6. For me, it's one of the most versatile silhouettes in the entire Jordan series. Who should skip it? If you're all about ultra-boost-like comfort, look elsewhere. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 for a retro is steep. Maybe try a more recent Jordan model with better tech. The Air Jordan 4 is for style-first people.
