First thing I noticed? The quality is solid. The nubuck feels nice, and that classic silhouette just pops. The colorway is clean and versatile. For $210, the initial impression is pretty good, honestly. Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown is decent, thanks to those plastic wing eyelets. The cushioning? It's firm, but in a good, supportive way—you feel that Air unit in the heel. It's not super plush like some modern sneakers, but for a retro, it's comfortable enough for all-day wear, honestly. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize all-day comfort above everything, look at something with more cushioning. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable options for less than $210. Now, the not-so-great parts. The break-in period is real – that ankle area can rub. Also, the outsole is flat, so traction on super-slick courts might be iffy. If you want ultimate comfort or performance tech, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle/retro shoe first. Just keeping it 100% real with you guys.
