The 'Military Blue' "Jordan 4 Retro" is a legendary colorway done right. It's a versatile, well-made retro that lives up to the hype. If you've been waiting for this one, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just go in knowing it's about style, not revolutionary tech. Solid pickup. Now, the cons or things to consider. The toe box can feel a bit stiff and narrow for some people. Break-in time is real. Also, that exposed Air unit in the heel? You gotta be careful – it can pop if you're really rough. And the traction on dusty surfaces isn't the greatest. It's not a performance shoe anymore, so keep that in mind if you're thinking about balling in them. Who should skip it? If you prioritize max comfort above all, look at newer models. 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. Alright, so first look at this 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 Retro... The shape is "super" clean right out of the box. The materials? Honestly, the nubuck feels decent for a retro. It's not premium, but it's solid. That classic silhouette, with the mesh panels and plastic wings, just pops. For around $210 USD, the initial impression is pretty positive, you know?
