First thing out of the box? The shape is "on point" this time around. The materials feel pretty standard for a retro, but that iconic silhouette? It's just "chef's kiss". Honestly, for around $210 USD, the initial visual hit is strong. Let's get these on feet. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, cloud-like comfort above all else, look at newer tech. Also, if you prefer a super lightweight or minimal sneaker, the "Jordan 4 Retro's" bulk and weight might feel off. It's a specific look and feel. For pure performance basketball? Obviously not. It's a lifestyle icon first. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The "Air Jordan 4 Retro" is definitely more of a bulky, structured shoe. It's not as sleek. But compared to other 4s, this 'Military Blue' execution is top-tier. They nailed the shades of grey and blue. On foot, this "Jordan 4 Retro" just works. The silhouette is iconic and bulky in the best way. The 'Military Blue' pops without being too loud, making it super versatile for fits. I've worn them out a few times, and they get compliments every time. They look great in photos and even better in person. A true wardrobe staple.
