If you're building a Jordan collection, the "4 Retro" is essential. It's also great for casual wearers who want a statement sneaker that goes with everything. The $210 USD price is an investment, but for this iconic design, it's justifiable. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I laced up these "Air Jordan 4 Retros", and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning from the Air unit in the heel? It's there, but don't expect super plush, modern comfort. It's a firm, supportive ride - classic basketball shoe feel. The ankle collar provides good lockdown, though. For all-day wear? Maybe not the "most" comfortable, but it's fine. Alright, so first look at this 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 Retro... the shape is "super" clean right out of the box. The nubuck feels decent, and that classic color-blocking just pops. For around $210, the initial quality seems solid. It's that iconic Jordan 4 silhouette we all know, and honestly, I'm pretty impressed with this first impression. 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.
