If you're on a tight budget and $210 feels steep for a shoe with basic materials, that's valid. Also, if you already have the 2012 version and are happy with it, the updates here might not be worth a double-up. Now, potential cons. The comfort isn't for everyone—if you need max cushion, look elsewhere. The toe box can crease easily, which some hate. Also, at $210 USD, you're purely buying the look/history, not tech. It might feel pricey for a shoe with a basic, older feel. That's the retro game. My final take? I'm really liking this Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue'. It's executed well. It fills a specific spot in a collection - that iconic, wearable color. Is it a must-have? For fans of the model, absolutely. It's a confident retro of a legendary look. Now, the not-so-great stuff. The comfort level won't blow you away if you're used to modern sneaker tech. It can feel a bit stiff and bulky, especially around the ankle. The toe box creasing is basically a guarantee with that soft leather. And at $210 USD, it's a significant investment for a shoe that's more about style than all-day comfort.
