.. interesting. Some panels feel great, others a bit stiff—typical of modern retros. My advice? Go see them in person if you can. The Air Jordan Retro 4 is a shoe you buy for the vibe, not for premium materials. It’s built well enough for daily wear. I'd recommend it to new sneakerheads wanting their first major Jordan, but hardcore vintage fans might critique the build. Unboxing these Air Jordan Retro 4 'Military Blue'... wow. The color pop is insane in person – way better than in pictures. Sliding them on, the ankle collar gives great support, but the toe box can feel a bit rigid initially; it'll need a break-in period for sure. Comparing it to, say, a Retro 1? This has a chunkier, more substantial feel on foot. A major pro is its versatility – these go with almost anything. The con? That classic netting can be a dirt magnet. At $210 USD, it's a strong, wearable piece of Jordan history. Just know it's not the most flexible shoe out the gate. Not for everyone? Probably not. If you have very wide feet, the fit can be restrictive. Also, if you dislike shoes that require a short break-in period, consider that. And for pure, all-day walking comfort? Modern tech shoes simply do that better. The Retro 4 is about style and statement, with comfort being good, not great. Alright, let's get into these "Air Jordan Retro 4s"! First impression out of the box? The shape is "so" on-point – seriously, the silhouette is just iconic. This 'White Cement' colorway is clean, and the quality feels solid. Trying them on... yeah, the feel is classic AJ4: a bit firm underfoot – don't expect Boost-level cushioning, honestly – but the lockdown is great. If you're into that true retro basketball feel, you'll love 'em. If you prioritize modern comfort above all, maybe look elsewhere.
