The "Military Black" colorway "pops" in a really subtle way. The contrast between the matte nubuck and the shiny wings and heel tab is " chef's kiss ". It doesn't scream for attention, but the details are all there. Compared to a louder 4, like a University Blue, this is your go-to for a more mature, everyday sneaker head flex. It's just effortlessly cool. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The leather needs a little break-in, so it's a bit stiff initially, but the overall comfort is solid. It's a classic Jordan 4 feel—not super plush like some modern sneakers, but supportive. The 'Military Black' colorway just works with everything, from jeans to shorts. A real wardrobe staple, for sure. On foot now, and the feel is... well, it's a classic Jordan 4. The cushioning is firm – you're not getting Boost or React here, let's be real. The lockdown is good, the heel tab doesn't dig in for me. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. For a retro, it's exactly what I expected. Comfort-wise, it's more about style than all-day cloud-like walking, you know? Let's get these on foot. The fit is true to size for me. The leather upper is a bit stiff out of the box, but the overall comfort is what you expect from a retro J. It's not Boost-level plush, but it's supportive. The lockdown is good, especially around the midfoot. They feel a bit heavy, but that's just part of the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Military Black' DNA. It's a sturdy, classic basketball shoe feel.
