Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a lot for a shoe with outdated cushioning. And if you hate cleaning your sneakers, the light materials on this specific Air Jordan 4 might stress you out. It's not a versatile "performance" buy. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The Air unit in the heel gives a nice, familiar cushioning. It's not the most plush Jordan ever, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The upper is supportive without being restrictive. For a retro, the Air Jordan 4 still delivers a reliable on-foot feel. 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. Comparing these to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than an AJ1, for sure. It's got more of a bulky, protective feel. Versus an AJ3, I'd say the 4 is a bit more structured and less curvy in its design. Each model in the Jordan line has its own vibe, and the 4's is all about that rugged, athletic aesthetic.
