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. 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, man. The leather feels good, and that classic silhouette is just iconic. It's a timeless look, honestly. At around $210 USD, it's a standard Jordan Retro price point. Let's get these on feet. Now, the not-so-great stuff? The toe box can feel a bit stiff and boxy at first, it needs a break-in period. Also, that nubuck gets dirty easily, so you gotta be careful. If you want a super plush, modern sneaker feel, this "Air Jordan 4" might not be for you. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 4" is chunkier than a "Jordan 1" or "3". It's heavier and has more of a 90s basketball shoe vibe. The lockdown is better than a "1", but the cushioning isn't as soft as a well-cushioned "Jordan 13", for example. It sits in its own unique space within the "Jordan series" – a perfect blend of style and that era's performance design.
