The main drawback? The comfort tech is 30+ years old. If you're used to React or Zoom Air, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck can get dirty easily, especially in this light color. And for $210? Some folks might want more modern materials or tech for that price point. Just being real. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "AJ4 Retro" sits differently than an AJ1. It's bulkier, more of a statement. Versus an AJ3, the toe box is roomier. For $210 USD, you're paying for the icon status. It's not the most tech-advanced shoe, but it's a piece of history you can wear. 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. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 4 Retro" sits between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's more structured than a 3, but often more wearable than a bulkier 5. The toe box on the 4 is roomier than some newer models, which is a plus for wider feet. It's a classic for a reason in the "Jordan series".
