The durability of the Air Jordan 4 is a major plus. The materials can take a beating. The style is incredibly iconic—it's a head-turner. Also, for a retro basketball shoe, the breathability from the mesh side panels isn't bad at all. It's a well-thought-out design that has stood the test of time. My final take? I'm really liking this Air Jordan 4. It delivers exactly what you expect: a classic, stylish silhouette with decent comfort. It's not trying to be something it's not. For a retro, the execution is on point. Would I recommend it? For fans of the model, absolutely. It's a staple. Who should maybe skip it? If you need ultimate comfort or modern tech, look elsewhere. Performance basketball players, this isn't your game shoe. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit can be snug. It's a lifestyle icon first, not a cutting-edge performance model. Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 4"... initial thoughts? The fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot from those plastic wings is "immediate" and really secure. It's not a super plush, modern feel—you definitely feel the firmness of the midsole. But hey, that's part of the classic Jordan DNA, right?
