In natural light, the colors really pop. The mesh panels and plastic wings give it that unique texture. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the "Air Jordan 4" has more going on—it's chunkier, more technical-looking. It's a statement piece for sure, and it looks great on camera. 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 – really solid. The materials feel good for a retro, you know? It's that classic Jordan 4 silhouette we all love, and the blue pops nicely. For around $210 USD, the initial impression is pretty strong. Let's get these on feet. Now, the not-so-great. The out-of-box comfort isn't for everyone. If you want cloud-like softness, look elsewhere. Also, that plastic mesh cage on the side? It can dig into your foot a bit before it breaks in. It's a common "Jordan 4 Retro" quirk. The toe box creasing is also very pronounced, so if that bothers you, be warned. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 4 Retro" has that familiar, supportive feel—not super plush, but comfortable. The lockdown is good, and they're not too heavy. It's a classic basketball shoe feel, modernized just enough. If you're used to newer, bouncier tech, these might feel a bit firm. But for retro style? They're great.
