Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is an investment. But for the design? I think it's worth it. Now, the cons. The main drawback for some will be the comfort tech—or lack thereof. It's a 1989 cushioning setup. If you're used to modern performance shoes, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck upper? It can be a dirt magnet, especially in this light colorway. You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. Comparing these to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's bulkier but also offers more ankle support. Versus a Jordan 3, the toe box feels roomier. The Jordan 4 has its own unique vibe – it's sportier and more technical-looking than some of the earlier models in the series. In summary, the Nike Air Jordan 4 delivers on its legacy. Great looks, decent comfort, and timeless style. It's not a perfect performance shoe today, but as a lifestyle icon? It's absolutely still at the top of its game. A solid cop.
