The Air Jordan 4 'Military Black' is a workhorse. It's a shoe you'll reach for constantly because it goes with everything. The quality is good, the look is iconic, and it fills a specific "clean, go-to Jordan" slot in a collection. It's not the most exciting release, but it's incredibly useful and well-executed. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "military black" 4 sits in a sweet spot. It's less bulky than a Jordan 5, but has more presence than a Jordan 1. The silhouette is iconic. If you have an OG 'Bred' 4, this is like its cleaner, more neutral cousin. It lacks the loud colors of some recent retros, which, for many, is its biggest strength. It's a modern classic. Big pro for me: versatility. The 'Military Black' Air Jordan 4s literally go with jeans, shorts, joggers – you name it. The materials are easy to clean, and the colorway hides minor scuffs well. It's a practical sneaker head choice, not just a display piece. On foot, the design really pops. The contrast between the matte black nubuck, white leather, and that hit of grey on the wing eyelets is "chef's kiss". It's a shoe that looks great in hand & even better on foot. The mesh panels and plastic wing details give it that iconic AJ4 texture. This 'Military Black' colorway is honestly one of the most wearable Jordans in recent memory.
