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. Checking out the Air Jordan Retro 4 'Pure Money' – all silver everything. Unboxing it feels premium; the full-grain leather has a great shine. On feet, the sensation is the standard, reliable Retro 4 experience. The real story is the look: this shoe photographs incredibly well and looks futuristic even today. It’s a standout in any Jordan series lineup. A definite pro is its unique metallic finish. A drawback? Fingerprints and scuffs can be more noticeable on this finish. At $210 USD, this is a shoe for the collector who loves flash and doesn't mind the upkeep. If you're hard on your shoes, this might give you anxiety! Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is "true-to-size" for me. Initial comfort? Let's be real - it's not ultra-plush like some modern shoes. You feel that firmness in the sole. But the heel and ankle lockdown? Fantastic. That's a major "pro" for this model. You feel secure and supported immediately. Alright, let's get into this. Just unboxed the Air Jordan Retro 4 in this new 'Military Blue' colorway, and wow – the shape is "so" on point! The quality feels solid; the nubuck is nice and soft. Putting them on? The fit is true to size with a secure, classic lockdown. Honestly, the comfort is decent – you get that visible Air unit – but it's a firmer ride compared to modern shoes. For $210? It's a must for collectors who love the OG looks, but maybe not for all-day comfort seekers.
