People with very wide feet might find the fit restrictive. Also, if you're on a tight budget and $210 USD is a stretch, maybe wait for a sale. It's not the most "functional" shoe by modern metrics, so pure performance seekers should look elsewhere. Talking about design, this 'Military Blue' is so clean. In natural light, the colors really pop. The mesh panels and plastic wings give it that unique texture. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the "Air Jordan 4" has more going on—it's chunkier, more technical-looking. It's a statement piece for sure, and it looks great on camera. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "4 Retro" sits between the slim 3 and the chunky 5. It's less forgiving than a Jordan 13 in terms of cushioning, but way more versatile style-wise than a Jordan 15, for example. The advantage here is its legendary status and wearability. This specific colorway is a grail for many, so getting a retro is huge. Overall, would I recommend copping? Yes—but with context. If you've wanted a classic Air Jordan 4, this 'Military Blue' retro is a fantastic choice. Just manage your comfort expectations. For me, it's a definite keeper. The design simply outweighs the minor drawbacks. That's my real, unfiltered review.
