Nike air jordan 4 : Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me [vad2uuai]

It's less bulky than a 5, but has more structure than a 3. The cushioning is firmer than an AJ1, for sure. If you like that retro, supportive build, this is a great pick. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Let's talk on-feet. Slipping into this "Jordan 4", the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is "immediate" – you really feel locked in. It's not the lightest shoe, you definitely notice the weight, but it's not uncomfortable. The cushioning from the Air unit is there, but it's more about stability than crazy softness, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits in a nice middle ground. It's more substantial and has more tech (visually) than an AJ1, but it's often more wearable than the super-techy later models. The price point of $210 is pretty standard for a retro these days. You're paying for that legacy and this specific, beloved colorway. Conversely, who might want to skip it? If you prioritize lightweight, flexible shoes for all-day walking or standing, the "Jordan 4's" weight and structure might not be for you. Also, if you have very wide feet, that break-in period in the toe box could be a real hassle.
