First impression? The shape is on point – really solid construction this time. The nubuck feels decent, and that classic silhouette? It's just iconic, man. Unboxing these is always a vibe. They look even better in hand than in the pics, for real. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "4 Retro" is chunkier than a "Jordan 1", for sure. It's more substantial and offers a bit more tech (at least in feel) than the 1s or 3s. The ankle collar is different from the 5s... it's its own thing. In the "Jordan series", the 4 sits in a sweet spot between classic style and a slightly more modern (for its time) build. Who should skip it? If you prioritize max comfort above all, look at newer models. If you hate visible creasing, maybe pass. Also, at $210+, it's an investment. For a first Jordan, some might prefer a more comfortable modern retro. It's about the look, not the tech. So, is it worth it? For me, yes. The Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Military Blue' is a legend. You're paying for the icon status, the timeless look, and that Jordan Brand heritage. It's not the comfiest, but it's undeniably cool. A solid cop for the collection.
