There's just more cushioning. Reviewing this 'Midnight Navy' pair, the materials are consistent, and the color is deep and rich. On-feet feel is good—stable, supportive. "Big pro" is the all-day wear comfort. A "minor con" is the lack of breathability; your feet will get warm. Priced at $210 USD, it's a great choice for someone who wants a classic Jordan series silhouette they can actually walk in all day. Compared to other Retros? The AJ4 sits between the AJ3's elephant print fame and the AJ5's more aggressive design. It's arguably one of the most wearable classic Jordans. However, if you're used to the comfort of a Jordan 13 or later models, the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" might feel a bit basic underfoot. First impression of this Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Military Blue'? The color pop is clean, and the materials feel premium. However—and this is key—the toe box can be a bit unforgiving. On feet, they're definitely heavier than, say, a Jordan 1 or a modern runner. The lockdown is good, though. I love the look, but they're not for all-day, on-your-feet marathons. At this $200+ price point, know you're buying iconic style—not ultimate comfort. It's a sneakerhead staple, period. Alright, let's get these Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Bred' out of the box — and wow, that classic silhouette hits every time. The black nubuck feels premium, the cement grey accents are perfect, and that pop of red? Iconic. For $210 USD, the presentation – from the box to the shoe itself – feels right for a Jordan series legacy piece. My first impression is solid.
