.. the 4 sits uniquely. It's more substantial than a Jordan 1 or 3, but often more comfortable for long wear, in my opinion. The tech is simpler than a Jordan 11 or later models, but that's part of its charm. You're buying into a specific era of design with the "Air Jordan 4 Retro". Now, potential downsides? The toe box creasing... it's gonna happen, and it can be pretty pronounced on the softer leather versions. Also, that exposed Air unit in the sole?

The tech is from the late '80s, remember. To wrap it up—the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" 'Military Blue' gets a thumbs up from me. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense retro that executes its job perfectly. The pros (style, heritage, versatility) far outweigh the cons (initial stiffness, price). If this colorway speaks to you, go for it. You'll be getting a timeless piece for your rotation. That's my genuine, real-feel review. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First thing I noticed unboxing? The quality is solid – the leather feels decent, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For around $210 USD, the initial impression is pretty good. The shape is on point right out of the box, which is always a win with retros.
