It lives up to the hype for me. The look, the fit, the heritage—it all comes together. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, especially if you dig retro basketball kicks. Just go true to size and give the sole a little time to break in. Solid pickup Now, the cons. The main drawback for some will be the comfort tech—or lack thereof. It's a 1989 cushioning setup. If you're used to modern performance shoes, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck upper? It can be a dirt magnet, especially in this light colorway. You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. Putting these Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is fantastic—really locks you in. The Air unit in the heel? You feel it, but it's not super plush like some modern sneakers. It's a firm, supportive cushioning that I actually prefer for all-day wear. So, who are these for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who love the Jordan 4 silhouette and this iconic colorway. It's for people who appreciate retro basketball style over max performance comfort. If you're building a rotation of classic kicks, this Nike Air Jordan 4 is a must-have. It's a staple.
