Durability seems good; the outsole is thick. The versatility for outfits is a huge plus. Also, the fact that Nike & Jordan Brand brought this colorway back so faithfully is a win for collectors and new fans alike. It's a piece of history you can wear. My final, real take? I'm really liking these. The Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Military Blue' is a clean, classic colorway that's easy to wear. The pros—the looks, the heritage, the versatility—far outweigh the cons for me. The minor comfort quirks are worth it for the style you get. It's a solid addition to any rotation that needs a iconic, blue-toned sneaker. So, is it worth it? For me, yes. The "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" delivers on that classic look and solid, everyday comfort. You're paying for the heritage and a design that always gets compliments. Just go in knowing it's not the most tech-advanced shoe. If you vibe with the style, you'll love having it in your rotation. A definite recommend for fans. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "4 Retro" sits nicely between the bulky "3" and the sleeker "5". It has more structure than a "1", but isn't as tech-focused as an "11". For $210 USD, you're paying for that iconic look and heritage. I'd say the comfort is similar to a "3", maybe a tad less cushioning. It's its own thing, really.
