.. the Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 3. The cushioning is less plush than a modern Jordan model, like the 13s or 35s. You're getting a vintage basketball feel. So, manage your expectations—it's not a super-comfortable all-day walking shoe right away. Now, potential cons. The toe box can feel a bit stiff and boxy for some foot shapes. Break-in time is real. Also, that firm midsole cushioning might disappoint if you're used to super soft, modern sneakers. It's not a "comfort-first" model. And at ~$210, you're paying for the legacy and design, not cutting-edge tech. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First thing I noticed? The shape is fantastic – really solid, and the quality of the nubuck feels great right out of the box. It's a classic look, no doubt. For around $210 USD, you're getting a piece of Jordan history, and that initial impression is strong. Who should maybe skip? If you're on a tight budget—$210+ is a lot for a shoe with "retro" comfort. Also, if you need shoes for lots of walking or standing, I'd recommend something more modern. The "Jordan 4 Retro" is more about style than performance nowadays.
