If you hate visible creasing, maybe pass. Also, at $210+, it's an investment. For a first Jordan, some might prefer a more comfortable modern retro. It's about the look, not the tech. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less sleek than a 1 but has more presence. The ankle collar is higher than a 3, giving better support. It's a unique chunkiness that defines the late '80s/early '90s era. If you like that retro basketball aesthetic, this is a prime example. So, who is this for? If you love the Jordan legacy and want a versatile, iconic sneaker, this "AJ4 Retro" is a must. It's for collectors and casual wearers alike. The 'Military Blue' is a classic color that's easy to rock. You're buying into a legend, plain and simple. On feet, the design really pops. The mesh panels and plastic wings on this Jordan 4 Retro give it such a unique texture. The 'Military Blue' accents against the white and grey work so well in natural light. It's a shoe that looks even better when you're actually wearing it. The silhouette is bulky in a good way—it makes a statement without being too loud. Perfect for that vintage basketball aesthetic.
