If you love the "Jordan series" and want a versatile, wearable retro that isn't a "Jordan 1", this is it. It's also great for anyone wanting to start a collection—the "Air Jordan 4 Retro" is a cornerstone model. You really can't go wrong with this silhouette. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits differently than a 1 or a 3. It's bulkier than a 1, but more streamlined than a 5, in my opinion. The cushioning is firmer than the newer models like the 11 or 12. But that's part of its charm - it's a pure, late-80s basketball design. You're buying the history. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I laced up these "Air Jordan 4 Retros", and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning from the Air unit in the heel? It's there, but don't expect super plush, modern comfort. It's a firm, supportive ride - classic basketball shoe feel. The ankle collar provides good lockdown, though. For all-day wear? Maybe not the "most" comfortable, but it's fine. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First thing I noticed? The shape is "super" on point this time. The nubuck feels decent, and that classic silhouette... it's just iconic, you know? The box was clean, everything was packaged nicely. For around $210 USD, the initial impression is pretty solid.
