Major "advantage"? Versatility & history. This ‘Military Blue’ "AJ4" goes with almost anything. Durability is also a plus – the materials can take a beating. The "downside"? That outsole picks up dust like crazy on indoor floors, and the toe box creases very noticeably. If you’re super fussy about keeping kicks pristine, that might bug you. It’s part of the charm, though! Let's talk cons, because no shoe is perfect. The main issue? That "infamous" heel tab. It can "literally" rub your Achilles raw if you're wearing low-cut socks—I'm not kidding. You "have to" be mindful. Also, the outsole traction on dusty indoor floors? Slippery. As a pure lifestyle shoe, the "Air Jordan Retro 4" excels. For actual ball? Look elsewhere. Alright, so let's unbox these 'Military Blue' Air Jordan Retro 4s—"first impression"? The shape is iconic, man. The materials feel premium, & that classic color-blocking just pops. At $210 USD, you expect solid quality, & Jordan Brand delivered here. It's a timeless look from the Jordan series that never gets old. Honestly, a clean, straightforward release. Okay, let's get into these. First off, the box is "solid" - classic Jordan Brand. Pulling out this "air jordan retro 4" in the 'Black Cat' colorway... wow. The all-black nubuck is clean, and the silhouette? Iconic. It's a $210 shoe that "looks" premium right out of the gate. The craftsmanship on my pair is pretty good, honestly.
