It's a firm, supportive ride, not super plush. The lockdown is good, but the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. Compared to a Jordan 1, the AJ4 definitely has more of that 90s basketball shoe feel. It's a statement piece, for sure. My final take? I really like this Air Jordan 4 release. It's a faithful retro of a legendary colorway. The looks are a 10/10 for me. The comfort is what it is – you're buying the style and heritage. For my collection, it's a yes. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, cloud-like comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer more flexible, minimalist shoes, the structured build of the Jordan 4 might not be for you. It's about the look and legacy here. So, is it worth the $210 USD? If you love the design and history, absolutely. You're getting a well-made, iconic shoe. But if you're just chasing hype or max comfort, maybe look elsewhere. For me, this Air Jordan 4 is a solid 8.5/10.
