The midsole is stiff initially and needs a break-in period. If you want a super-soft, pillowy feel from the jump, this isn't it. Also, the plastic wing eyelets can sometimes rub if you're not wearing the right socks. On foot, this 'Military Blue' "Jordan 4 Retro" looks even better. The contrast with the black accents and grey midsole is just clean. It's a timeless color-blocking. For a sneaker from this series, it works with so many fits—jeans, shorts, you name it. The design really holds up, even after all these years. Major pros? The style is unbeatable—it's a straight-up classic. Durability seems great, and the colorway is super versatile. It's a shoe you can wear for years. For a retro, the tech (that visible Air Sole) still holds up pretty well for all-day wear. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 4 Retro" has that familiar, comfortable feel right out of the box. The cushioning from the Air unit in the heel is noticeable—it's not super plush like some modern shoes, but it's supportive. The ankle collar provides good lockdown, which I always like. It's a classic for a reason.
