For me, the "air jordan retro 4" runs "true-to-size" in length. However - and this is key - it's a narrow shoe through the midfoot. If you have wider feet, you might need to size up or be prepared for a break-in period. That's the main con for some people. The ankle collar is padded but can feel a bit stiff at first. Just being real with you. So, should you cop? If you've always wanted this "Air Jordan Retro 4" colorway, this is your chance. The quality is there, the look is iconic. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense retro. But go in with the right expectations: firm ride, some weight, and care needed for the materials. For the right person - a fan of the silhouette or 80s/90s basketball style - these are a must-have. For everyone else, try them on first if you can. That's my real, honest take. Putting these on, the lockdown is immediate—that's a big pro. The upper wraps your foot nicely. A possible con? The toe box can crease noticeably, which some people hate (I think it adds character). Compared to a Retro 3, the 4 feels more structured and protective. It's a toss-up between which silhouette you prefer, but this one holds a special place. Alright, so first up: the Air Jordan Retro 4 'Military Blue'. The box is "clean", and pulling these out? Man, the shape is so solid. That iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable. For a retro, the materials feel pretty decent—nothing super premium, but the leather has a nice grain to it. At $210 USD, you're paying for that classic Jordan lineage. Initial thoughts? A really faithful comeback for a legendary colorway.
