That grey mesh on the side? Mostly for show. Your feet will get warm. Also, the outsole is a flat rubber, so traction on wet surfaces isn't the best. It's a lifestyle shoe first. Don't ball in these expecting modern performance. Major pros? The style is iconic – you can't go wrong. Durability seems good with the materials. It's a timeless sneaker that works with tons of fits. For a retro, it's fairly comfortable right out of the box after a short break-in period. The 'Military Blue' colorway is a legendary look that's finally back. It's a piece of sneaker history. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 sits differently than a Jordan 1. It's bulkier, more of a mid-top. Cushioning is better than a 1, for sure, but it's not as streamlined as a Jordan 11. It's its own thing – a perfect balance between style and a bit of that old-school performance feel. Among retros, the 4 is a fan favorite for a reason. Alright, so let's get into these Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Military Blue'! First off, the box is classic. The shoe itself? The shape is on point, and that white, grey, and blue color-blocking is just "clean". For $210 USD, you expect solid quality, and the materials here feel pretty good right out of the gate. A strong first impression for sure.
