It's also great for anyone wanting a statement sneaker that's still wearable with jeans or joggers. If you like a supportive, secure fit and don't mind a firmer ride, you'll enjoy the Air Jordan 4 Retro. It's a classic for a reason. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First thing out of the box? The shape is "super" clean on this retro. The materials feel decent, not premium, but solid for the $210 price tag. That classic silhouette? It's just iconic, man. Honestly, a great start to this review. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 4" sits differently than, say, a Jordan 1. It's bulkier, more of a statement. Versus a Jordan 3, the 4 has more of that technical, "machined" look with the mesh panels and plastic wings. Each has its own fan base, but the 4's unique profile is a big part of its charm, in my honest opinion. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4 Retro" sits higher and feels a bit bulkier than, say, an AJ1 or AJ3. The toebox is roomier. Cushioning-wise, I'd say it's less forgiving than an AJ11 but more substantial than an AJ1. It's its own thing. If you like that late-80s, chunky basketball aesthetic, this is it. The silhouette is unmistakable.
