The 'Military Black' colorway is so versatile. The contrast between the white, black, and that grey midsole is perfect. They go with almost anything – jeans, shorts, joggers. In different lighting, the materials show nice texture. It's a shoe that looks even better on foot than in the box, which is always a win. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you already have multiple black-based "Jordan 4s" (like the Black Cat), this might feel redundant. And for true performance? Obviously, don't ball in these—they're strictly for lifestyle wear. If you're on a tight budget, you might find similar vibes for less, but you lose the iconic AJ4 shape. Now, a potential con for some people: the comfort. Let's be real – the "Air Jordan 4" is not known for being a cloud. The cushioning is firm, and they can feel a bit stiff, especially when brand new. If you're used to modern, ultra-plush sneakers like Yeezys or some New Balance models, you might find these a bit unforgiving for all-day wear on concrete. Comparing these to other Jordans? If you have the 'Fire Red' 4s or even the 'White Cement' 4s, this is in that same essential category. It's a core colorway. Versus a Jordan 1, the 4 is obviously bulkier and has a different kind of presence. The 'Military Black' specifically feels less loud than some other 4s, like the 'Breds' or 'University Blues', which makes it easier to wear frequently.
