It's chunkier than a 3, but I think it has more of a modern, wearable shape. The 4 is less bulky than a Jordan 5 or 6. For casual wear, the AJ4 is probably one of the most versatile models in the entire Jordan series lineup. Putting these Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The upper is supportive, but I gotta say, the break-in period is real. The forefoot can feel a bit stiff initially. It's not the "most" plush Jordan out of the gate, but that's kinda expected with this model. The Air unit in the heel does its job, though. Who might want to skip it? If comfort is your absolute top priority, look at newer models. If you're on a tight budget, $210 is a commitment. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers for mobility, the high-cut collar of the AJ4 might not be your thing. It's a specific vibe. Who might want to skip it? If you need maximum cushioning for all-day standing, look at newer models. Also, if you prefer a more streamlined, low-profile sneaker, the bulk of the Air Jordan 4 might not be your thing. It's a style-first shoe, remember that.
