.. the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown is good, especially with the wing lacing system. Comfort? It's a retro—you know what you're getting. The cushioning is firm, not super plush like modern performance shoes. But for casual wear, it's totally fine. The UNC colorway just makes you "want" to wear them out immediately. Comparing it to other 4s, like the Military Black, this UNC version is more of a statement piece. It has more "pop." Versus a Jordan 1? The 4 offers more foot containment and a chunkier look. It's a different vibe entirely. Within the Jordan series, the 4 sits in that sweet spot between bulky and sleek. This colorway just highlights that shape perfectly. My final take? I really like this UNC Air Jordan 4. It's a faithful, vibrant retro. It looks incredible on foot and has that classic AJ4 charm. Is it the most comfortable shoe ever? No. But for style points and collection value, it's a strong release. I'm glad I copped my pair. Who should maybe skip it? If you're on a tight budget, wait for a sale. Performance basketball players? Definitely not. Also, if you find the AJ4 generally uncomfortable, this won't change your mind. It's about the style, not groundbreaking comfort.
