Its strengths are its undeniable style, its historical significance, and its durable build. Its weaknesses are the break-in period for the wings and the firm ride. It's a sneaker I'd recommend to any enthusiast building a well-rounded collection. Just maybe don't make it your one-and-only pair for walking miles and miles. Let's talk weight—it's surprisingly substantial. The Air Jordan Retro 4 isn't a heavy boot, but you feel its presence. The support is excellent for casual wear, though. After a full day, my feet weren't sore, but I definitely felt like I was "wearing" them. It's a trade-off: you get that solid, protective build but not a lightweight, forget-you-have-them-on experience. Alright, let's get into these Military Blue Air Jordan Retro 4s. First off, the box is classic, and the shoe itself? The shape looks great right out of the box. The nubuck feels solid, not too fuzzy, and that contrast with the grey and white hits just right. It's a clean, timeless colorway. For $210, the initial quality seems on point. This is a strong start for a retro. So here's the real talk. Pro of the Air Jordan Retro 4? Unmatched silhouette and versatility. They go with almost anything. Cons? The toe box creases... it's gonna happen, and the mesh side panels can be a dirt magnet. For $210, you're buying into an icon. If you love the Jordan series history, it's worth it. If you need a daily comfort beast, maybe not your first pick.
