.. it's gonna happen, and it can be pretty pronounced on the softer leather versions. Also, that exposed Air unit in the sole? Be careful—it can be prone to cracking over "many" years if you're not rotating your shoes. And like I said, if you're seeking modern, cloud-like comfort, this isn't it. The tech is from the late '80s, remember. Now, potential downsides? The toe box can feel a bit stiff for some people – it might need a break-in period. And if you're used to super-soft, modern cushioning like React or Boost, the Air unit in here might feel a bit basic. It's not a performance basketball shoe anymore, so manage those expectations. Let's talk looks on camera. This 'Military Blue' Jordan 4 just pops. The contrast with the black accents and grey mesh? "Chef's kiss". It photographs incredibly well. Compared to some bulkier recent Jordans, the 4 has a sleeker profile that works with so many fits. It's a timeless design, no doubt. Who is this for? Sneakerheads who love the OG history. People wanting a statement piece that isn't too loud. If you dig the '80s/'90s basketball aesthetic, this Jordan 4 is a must. It's a piece of sneaker culture you can actually wear.
