Nike air jordan 4 : On foot now [qpeyuv8w]

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. Now, a potential con? The outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. 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. Is it worth it? For a collector or a fan of the lineage, 100%. The "Air Jordan 4" 'Military Blue' is a grail for many. For a casual wearer just wanting comfort? Maybe not your first pick. There are more modern, cushion-focused shoes out there. But for the style and heritage, it's a strong yes from me.
