Compared to a more modern Jordan model – it's not as performance-focused. But that's the point, right? It's a lifestyle icon. The cushioning is "definitely" more noticeable than on a flat AJ1, but less bouncy than, say, a Jordan 13. Okay, let's get this box open! First impression of the wmns air jordan 4 retro? The shape is "so" classic. You know it’s a 4 just by the silhouette... which I love. The materials feel good for the $220 price point, honestly? No major complaints right out of the gate. It's a solid, clean start for this Jordan series release. So, here are the "wmns Air Jordan 4 retro" shoes on my feet. My immediate thought? They're a bit heavier than I remembered 4s being—you definitely feel that structure. The lockdown is secure, though. Visually, this silhouette "always" works, and this particular colorway is super versatile. Pros? Timeless style & great materials. Cons? That break-in period can be real for some. At ~$200 USD, it's a style-first, comfort-second kind of buy, which I'm totally okay with. First impression out of the box? This 'Shimmer' colorway has a subtle pinkish-purple tint that's really unique in person. The build quality on this Wmns Air Jordan 4 Retro feels good, no major glue issues I can spot. On-foot, it's a bit stiff initially - you gotta break these in. Visually, the mix of suede and mesh works so well. Versus a Jordan 1, it's a completely different vibe - more 90s athletic. Big pro is the standout-yet-wearable color. Con? That break-in period. I'd recommend these for collectors of unique colorways, maybe not as your first-ever Jordan 4.
