The lace locks, the heel tab with the Nike Air branding—it's all heritage. In-hand, the materials feel premium. On camera, that iconic shape always looks fire. My verdict? It's a must-have for Jordan purists. But for someone seeking cutting-edge tech and comfort, maybe look at a newer model. 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. Let's be real about the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" – it's not a "performance" shoe by today's standards. The tech is 30+ years old. But that's not the point! The point is wearing a piece of history. For $210 USD, you're buying an icon. The "pro" is timeless design. The "con" might be the price for what is, functionally, a simple shoe. Alright, what's up everyone? So, I finally got the "Air Jordan Retro 4" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First impression out of the box? The silhouette is just "iconic" – and this specific retro looks great. The materials feel pretty standard for a modern Jordan 4 release, which is fine by me. At its $210 USD price point, you know what you're getting: a classic.
