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! Alright, the Thunder "air jordan retro 4"… this yellow/black is LOUD. In-hand, the build quality feels good—no major flaws. On-foot feel is typical: sturdy, a bit clunky. The visual impact, though? "Massive". It's a statement piece. Advantage? You will turn heads. Disadvantage? It's "very" hard to style casually. At ~$210, it's a niche pick. Perfect for collectors or those with a bold wardrobe. If you prefer subtle shoes, this ain't it. My honest opinion? Love it, but it's not for everyone. Unboxing this 'Military Blue' "Air Jordan Retro 4" was a nostalgia trip! The materials feel good, the nubuck is nice. On-foot, the fit is snug – I'd say maybe go half a size up if you have wider feet, just a tip. The look on camera is phenomenal; those mesh panels and plastic wings add so much texture. Versus a Retro 3, the 4 feels more technical. Love the ankle collar design, but break-in time is real. Worth the $210? For this classic, 100% yes. Not for those who hate breaking shoes in, though. Here's a big "pro" for the "Air Jordan Retro 4": its versatility. You can genuinely wear these for a casual day, and they hold up. The durability is generally good – that outsole rubber is thick. However, a potential "con"? The suede/nubuck on some colorways can be a nightmare in bad weather. Just something to keep in mind.
