It's less sleek than a 1, but has more going on than a 3. The comfort is different from an AJ11, which is more court-focused. This is a lifestyle/retro basketball hybrid. It has its own unique place in the Jordan series lineage, no doubt. On feet, the 'Military Blue' Jordan 4s really pop. The color blocking is so clean and versatile. They look great on camera and in person. That mesh panel and the grey accents balance everything out. This is one of those sneakers that just works with so many fits. It's a timeless look from the Jordan series, no doubt. Now, potential cons. The breathability isn't great; your feet will get warm. Also, that firm midsole cushioning I mentioned—if you want plush, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable on these. It's part of the charm for some, a deal-breaker for others. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's not as sleek as a 1, not as bulky as a 6. The support system is unique with those wings. Versus a modern Jordan like a 36? It's a totally different world—this is about heritage style, not performance tech.
