You can dress it up or down, and this specific colorway goes with almost anything. The build on this retro is also pretty consistent. It's a reliable release from Nike. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits differently than a Jordan 1. It's bulkier, more of a statement. The cushioning is also different—more impact protection than the 1s, but not as plush as, say, a Jordan 13. It occupies its own unique space in the Jordan series, and that's why it's so beloved. Who should maybe skip it? If you're new to sneakers and just want the most comfortable shoe possible, look at newer models. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is an investment for a retro. There are more performance-oriented options at that price. Who are these for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who appreciate the history and the silhouette. If you love the Jordan 4 model or the 'Military Blue' color story specifically, you'll be happy. Also great for casual wearers who want a statement shoe that isn't too loud.
