The first lace-up felt snug and supportive. The classic colorway looks amazing in sunlight. Versus a Dunk, it offers more tech (that visible Air unit) and structure. Big pro is its place in sneaker history - it's a legend. The possible downside? The price has crept up to $200 USD. I'd recommend this to someone who wants a piece of that history and a versatile red/white/black sneaker. Maybe not for someone on a tight budget just entering the sneaker game. Is it worth the retail price? For me, opening this "wmns Air Jordan 4 Retro", the answer leans yes. The craftsmenship is there, the color is pristine, and it's a piece of history. On feet, they're not "comfort" kings like some modern runners, but they're perfectly fine for walking around. The look is what you're buying—that iconic, boxy silhouette that makes any outfit pop. It's not the most innovative shoe in 2024, but it doesn't need to be. Worth it for fans of the model. Not worth it if you prioritize cutting-edge comfort above all. Comparing it to my other J's — like a Jordan 1 — the 4 is definitely heavier & more structured. The ankle collar is higher, giving more of that "locked-in" feel. I actually prefer the support of the "wmns air jordan 4 retro" for all-day wear vs. some newer models. Major pro: it's a durable, well-made shoe. Con? It can feel a bit stiff at first. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 is unique. It's heavier & more structured than a Jordan 1, for sure. The ankle collar is higher, offering more support... but maybe less ankle mobility. If you love the 1s for their simplicity, the 4's complex design might feel like a lot.
