The contrast with the grey and black details is really sharp. The mesh panels and those plastic eyelets give the Air Jordan 4 so much texture. It's a shoe that photographs well from every angle. In natural light, that blue just looks so fresh and classic. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. The cushioning is also different—more of a firm, responsive feel compared to the softer, pillowy setup in something like a Jordan 13. It's a distinct experience. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, maybe look at newer models. The price, $210, is steep for some for a retro. If you're not into maintenance, the light-colored nubuck might stress you out. It's a lifestyle piece first. Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown is decent, thanks to those plastic wing eyelets. The cushioning? It's firm, but in a good, supportive way—you feel that Air unit in the heel. It's not super plush like some modern sneakers, but for a retro, it's comfortable enough for all-day wear, honestly.
