The materials feel comparable to recent retros. It doesn't have the premium feel of an OG '89 pair, obviously, but for a $210 USD release, it's what I expected. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you're rough on your shoes, the light colors might stress you out. For $210, you need to want the "style" first. Performance? Not this shoe's main goal. On feet, they look even better. The shape on this 2024 retro is really good – nice and bulky in the right way. That military blue on the eyestays and heel tab really pops against the white mesh. They're versatile, too. I can already see these with jeans, shorts... they just work. The design is timeless, no doubt about it. Alright, so the Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' is finally here. Unboxing it, the color-blocking is just "clean". That white leather with the military blue hits? It's a classic for a reason. The build quality feels solid right out of the box, no major flaws on my pair. At around $210 USD, it's standard for a Jordan retro. First impression? It's a straight-up iconic silhouette.
