The toe box creases... it's gonna happen, especially with this leather. Breathability isn't amazing due to the materials. And if you're used to modern, ultra-plush sneakers, the "Nike Air Jordan 4" might feel a bit dated and rigid in terms of overall comfort tech. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, you might want to look at newer tech models. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a significant chunk for a retro shoe with firm cushioning. And if you already have multiple Jordan 4s, this colorway, while iconic, might not feel essential. Potential downside? The break-in. The heel collar can be stiff at first and might rub. Also, the outsole traction on dust can be just okay. If you want a super soft, cloud-like step-in feel, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 4 is about heritage and style over max comfort tech. Comparing these to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than an AJ1, for sure. It's got more of a bulky, protective feel. Versus an AJ3, I'd say the 4 is a bit more structured and less curvy in its design. Each model in the Jordan line has its own vibe, and the 4's is all about that rugged, athletic aesthetic.
