The biggest advantage? Timeless style. This colorway is from '89 and it still looks fresh. The materials are easy to clean (mostly!). It's a piece of sneaker history you can actually wear. For a retro, the comfort is acceptable for casual wear. And honestly, that blue just makes you happy when you look down at your feet. On feet, the Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' really shines. The silhouette is timeless, and this colorway is incredibly versatile. It doesn't scream for attention, but people who know, "know". Compared to some bulkier recent Jordans, the 4 has a sleek, classic profile. It's a shoe that works with almost any casual fit. So, I put these on... The fit is pretty true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 is never a super plush shoe, and that holds true here. You get decent cushioning from that visible Air unit in the heel, but it's more about stability than cloud-like comfort. The lockdown is good, especially once you lace 'em up through those wings. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel their presence on foot. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue'. First off, the box is clean, and pulling these out? The color-blocking is just iconic. That white leather upper with those Military Blue hits on the netting and heel – it's a classic for a reason. The shape looks great right out of the box, no weird creasing. For $210 USD, the initial impression is very, very solid.
