Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 for a retro is steep. Maybe try a more recent Jordan model with better tech. The Air Jordan 4 is for style-first people. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 has a firm, supportive feel, not super plush like some modern shoes. The lockdown is good, especially with the wing eyelets. It's a comfortable shoe for all-day wear, but don't expect crazy cushioning. It's more about that stable, classic basketball feel. Now, a potential con? The outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the Jordan 4 sits higher than a Jordan 1 and has more structure than a Jordan 3. The cushioning is firmer than the newer, more tech-heavy models. It's a different experience—more about classic style and that iconic profile than modern performance.
