Initial feel? The Air Jordan 4 is never a "pillow" - it's firm. The cushioning is okay for all-day wear, but don't expect Boost-level softness. The lockdown is great, though! My foot feels secure. The military blue accents really stand out when you're walking. It's a statement sneaker, for sure. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue'. First impression out of the box? The color-blocking is super clean and iconic. The white, grey, and that pop of blue on the wings and heel tab just work. For $210 USD, the materials feel standard for a retro - decent leather on the upper, nothing crazy premium, but the overall shape on this 2024 version is really nice. Now, potential cons. The comfort tech is dated—no getting around that. If you want a super soft, bouncy ride, look elsewhere. Also, that nubuck can be a pain to keep clean, especially the white portions. And at $210 USD, it's a premium price for retro tech. It might not be for everyone, especially if you prioritize modern cushioning above all else. In summary, the Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' delivers exactly what you expect: a classic, well-executed retro. It looks incredible on foot, carries major heritage, and is built well. Just go in knowing the comfort is vintage. If that sounds good to you, you won't be disappointed with this release.
