Also, if you prefer more flexible, minimalist shoes, the structured build of the Jordan 4 might not be for you. It's about the look and legacy here. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The AJ4 is a bit bulkier, a bit more of a statement. Versus a Jordan 3, I'd say the 4 feels more structured and locked down. It's a different kind of comfort—more about support than sinking-in softness. If you like that substantial, protective feel, you'll appreciate this. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's more structured than a 1, and the support is different from a low-top. If you like a mid-top with a defined silhouette, this is your jam. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. Who should skip it? If supreme, cloud-like comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Also, if you have very wide feet, definitely try before you buy. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is a commitment for a shoe that needs a break-in period. It's an investment in style over immediate comfort.
