The price, $210, is steep for some for a retro. If you're not into maintenance, the light-colored nubuck might stress you out. It's a lifestyle piece first. Comparing it to other "Jordans"? The "4" sits right between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's not as sleek as a 1, and it's definitely heavier than a 3. But that's part of its charm – it's got its own distinct, rugged personality within the "Jordan series". It's a statement piece, for sure. On foot, the design "really" pops. The 'Military Blue' accents against the white and grey... it's a versatile, classic look. The mesh panels and those plastic wing eyelets give it that unique texture. In natural light or on camera, this colorway just works. It's not too loud, but it's definitely not boring either. In summary: The Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' is a solid retro release. Great materials, iconic look, but with that classic, firm ride. It's a sneaker you buy for the heart and the eyes, not just the feet. Would I cop again? For this colorway, yes—it's a piece of sneaker history. Just manage your comfort expectations!
