.. the fit is true to size for me. The Air unit in the heel provides a decent, familiar cushioning. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that stability. The lockdown around the midfoot is secure, thanks to those plastic wing eyelets. Now, a potential con: the outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. It needs some break-in time. Also, if you're used to modern, super-plush sneakers, the cushioning here might feel a bit basic or dated. Let's talk about the look on camera. The Nike Air Jordan 4, especially in this color, photographs incredibly well. The details—the netting, the heel tab—they all stand out. Wearing them out, they get a lot of looks. It's a shoe that has serious presence without trying too hard. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's not as plush as a well-worn AJ3, but it's more comfortable than a stiff AJ5 out of the box. The silhouette is more angular and bulky than the 1s or 3s, which is part of its charm. It's a distinct look within the "Jordan series".
