It's recognizable, has a rich history, and works year-round. But—and this is a big but—if you need all-day, walk-everywhere comfort, consider something with more modern foam. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" is for style-first people. I love it for what it is, but I'm keeping it real about the feel. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Retro 4" sits differently than a bulkier 5 or a lower-cut 1. It's like a perfect middle-ground height. Vs. a Jordan 3, the 4 feels more structured & technical-looking. A con for some? That firm midsole. If you want pillowy comfort, look at the Jordan 13s instead. But for style & heritage, this "Jordan series" model is elite. Just copped the 'Black Cat' "Air Jordan Retro 4s", and the all-black matte look is stealthy & sleek. Out of the box, the craftsmanship is clean. Sliding them on, the comfort is... okay. You feel the court-ready heritage, not plush modernity. The "Air Jordan Retro 4" silhouette shines in monochrome – it's all about the details. Compared to a bulkier AJ5, these feel slightly more streamlined. Great for style, tough fits. Not great if you need cushioning for long walks. So, for fashion-forward folks, yes. For comfort-first people, maybe not. Alright, let's get these open. First impression? The "Military Blue" air jordan retro 4 just looks iconic, you know? The clean white / cement grey / blue combo is timeless. Checking the build, it feels solid – typical AJ4 shape is on point. For $210, you're paying for that legacy. The nubuck feels decent, but I’ve seen better. It’s a classic, simple as that.
