The shape is on point, the grey accents & speckles pop, and the leather feels decent right out of the box. At $210 USD, you're paying for that legacy silhouette. It's a cornerstone of the "Jordan" series, no doubt. My initial thought? A clean, timeless design that looks even better in hand. Alright, so first up - the box&feel. 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! Now, the not-so-great part? Breathability. Those solid leather and nubuck panels don't let much air in. My feet got warm pretty fast. Also, that plastic wing lace system? Can feel a bit stiff on-foot initially. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's a real point for some people. My final take? I'm a fan of the "Air Jordan Retro 4". It's a staple. For collectors and casual wearers alike, it's a must-have model at some point. Just go in with the right expectations: great looks, good quality, average comfort. Pick a colorway you truly love – like this 'Bred' re-release – and you won't regret it.
