It's a classic, wearable silhouette with a great color story. You're buying into history and style. Just go in knowing its quirks. For my collection, it was absolutely worth it. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. The cushioning is also different—more of a firm, responsive feel compared to the softer, pillowy setup in something like a Jordan 13. It's a distinct experience. Now, a potential con? The comfort. If you're used to modern, foam-based sneakers, these might feel a bit stiff and heavy at first. They need a brief break-in period. Also, that ankle collar can rub if you wear low-cut socks. It's not for everyone, especially if all-day, cloud-like comfort is your top priority. Comparing it to my other Jordans, the 4 sits uniquely. It's bulkier than a 3, more structured than a 5. It has its own identity in the Jordan series lineage. The price is consistent with other retros. It's a foundational sneaker in any collection.
