The tech here is 30+ years old. Also, if you have a very narrow foot, the fit might feel a bit roomy. And if you hate breaking shoes in, the initial stiffness might be a dealbreaker. It's not the most forgiving retro out of the box. Now, the not-so-great part? They can feel a bit heavy and clunky, especially if you're used to lighter sneakers. The toe box area might also feel restrictive for some foot shapes. It's not the most forgiving fit. So, if you prioritize all-day, cloud-like comfort, this might not be your first choice. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First thing I noticed? The shape is "on point" this time around. The materials feel solid, not cheap at all, and that classic silhouette is just "iconic". It's a clean, timeless look straight out of the box. Really happy with the initial quality here. Comparing it to other retros... the Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 3. The cushioning is less plush than a modern Jordan model, like the 13s or 35s. You're getting a vintage basketball feel. So, manage your expectations—it's not a super-comfortable all-day walking shoe right away.
