First off, the shape on this retro is "really" solid. The leather feels decent, not amazing, but the iconic silhouette and that classic color blocking? It's a timeless look. Unboxing this Jordan 4, you instantly get that '89 vibe. Now, potential cons. The breathability isn't great; your feet will get warm. Also, that firm midsole cushioning I mentioned—if you want plush, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable on these. It's part of the charm for some, a deal-breaker for others. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits differently than, say, an AJ1. It's bulkier, has more of a mid-top feel. Versus an AJ3, the toebox is a bit roomier. I'd say the 4 is one of the more comfortable early Jordan models, but again, it's that retro firmness. It's a distinct silhouette in the Jordan series, no doubt. Major pros? Durability and style. The materials on this Air Jordan 4 are built to last. The design is iconic and goes with almost anything. It's a shoe you can wear for years and it still looks relevant. That's the power of a great Jordan retro.
