For the $210 price, you're paying for the design and heritage. The comfort is acceptable for casual use, and the style is undeniable. Just go in knowing it's a retro construction with retro feel. Manage those expectations, and you'll be happy. 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. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, all-day comfort above all else, look at newer models. 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. 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.
