First impression? The quality is solid. The nubuck feels good, and that classic silhouette is just iconic, you know? Unboxing this pair, especially at around $210 USD, feels like a proper Jordan release. The shape is on point right out of the box. On feet now. The Air Jordan 4 cushioning is... okay. It's firm, not super plush. The lockdown is good, though! The heel tab and wings system work. They're a bit heavier than I expected, honestly. Not the most comfortable Jordan, but it's a solid, supportive feel. Now, a potential con for some: the comfort tech is "old". Don't expect React or ZoomX foam here. It's a firm, 90s basketball feel. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the Air Jordan 4 might feel a bit stiff at first. Just being real with you. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher on the ankle than a Jordan 1 or 3. Cushioning is firmer than a Jordan 11 or 12. It's its own thing. If you like that mid-top support and a chunkier profile, this is your model. It's a definitive style within the Jordan series.
