They’re not super heavy, but you're aware of them—it’s that classic, substantial build. Compared to something like a Jordan 1? The AJ4 offers a bit more tech… at least in theory. The upper is supportive, but don't expect a cloud-like ride. It's a vintage basketball feel, for sure. Alright, let's get this box open. First look? The shape of this Air Jordan 4 Retro is "on point"—really classic. My pair is the "Military Blue" colorway, and the materials feel solid, no major flaws straight out the box. At $210, you expect good QC. Initial impression? It's a clean, iconic silhouette that just "works". The grey and blue combo is super versatile for fits. A strong start for any collection. Alright — let’s unbox these. First off, the shape of this Air Jordan 4 Retro is "super" clean right out of the box. The materials — especially on this specific colorway — feel premium, and honestly? It’s a classic silhouette for a reason. At around $210 USD, you’re paying for that iconic Jordan legacy. If you love 90s basketball aesthetics, you’ll love this. Just know — it’s not the most breathable shoe out there. Pulling these 'University Blue' Air Jordan 4 Retros out of the box—wow, that blue is crisp. First wear? They feel sturdy, protective almost. The ankle collar provides good support, which I prefer over a low-top for all-day wear. Honestly, compared to an Air Max or something more cushioned, these are for style first. Pro: incredible on-foot presence. Con: not the most breathable shoe. If you’re after a head-turning classic that works with tons of outfits, this is it. Just manage your comfort expectations.
