It's a cornerstone of the Jordan line. You're paying for the heritage, the iconic look, and a solid, comfortable wearing experience. It's not a perfect, cutting-edge performance shoe, but it was never meant to be. It's a classic. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits differently than, say, an AJ1. It's bulkier, has more of a mid-top feel. Versus an AJ3, the toebox is a bit roomier. I'd say the 4 is one of the more comfortable early Jordan models, but again, it's that retro firmness. It's a distinct silhouette in the Jordan series, no doubt. Now, a potential con: the creasing. The soft leather on the toe box will crease, and it happens fast. If you're super obsessive about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bug you. Also, the ventilation isn't great; it can get a bit warm. Just keeping it real with you guys. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First thing out of the box? The shape is "super" clean on this retro. The materials feel solid, not cheap at all. Honestly, for a classic "Jordan" silhouette, this is a strong start. The price point is around $210 USD, which is pretty standard for a retro release these days.
