The moment I pulled out this Air Jordan Retro 4 in the classic 'Military Blue' c-h-e-c-k it, the shape was "perfect". Leather feels good, not great, & those plastic wings… iconic. At $210 USD, initial quality seems on point for a Jordan series retro. A solid start! Who are these for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who appreciate history. This 'Military Blue' "Air Jordan Retro 4" is a legend. It's for the collector, or someone wanting a staple in their rotation. The $210 price is an investment in a piece of sneaker culture. They're also great for people who value ankle support and a secure fit in a lifestyle shoe. If you prioritize comfort above all else, though, maybe look at newer models with better tech. On-camera and in person, this shoe just "pops". The mesh panels and plastic wing eyelets add so much texture. It's a very "photogenic" sneaker from every angle. Compared to, say, an "Air Jordan 1", the "Retro 4" has a much more complex, technical look. It's a statement piece. For $210, you're paying for that timeless, recognizable design that always gets looks. On feet, visually? They pop. The mesh panels and plastic wing eyelets give it such a unique, techy look for a shoe from '89. I love how the 'Military Blue' accents the white upper—it's a timeless combo that goes with almost anything. For a "Jordan" Retro, the "4" has a chunky, statement-making presence that looks great in photos and on the street.
