It's just part of the game with this model's leather. Also, the ankle collar can feel a bit stiff initially and might rub some people the wrong way. It breaks in, but it's not for everyone right away. So, is it worth the $210? For me, yes. You're getting a piece of sneaker history back in a great form. The Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' is a cornerstone of any collection. Just go in knowing what it is: a classic retro with a firm, supportive ride. Don't expect modern performance comfort, and you'll love 'em. Comparing it to my other Jordans, the 4 sits uniquely. It's bulkier than a 3, more structured than a 5. It has its own identity in the Jordan series lineage. The price is consistent with other retros. It's a foundational sneaker in any collection. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4's upper provides a secure, locked-down feel, which I really like. It's not the lightest shoe ever, but you feel that stability. The cushioning from the Air unit is firm but comfortable—great for all-day wear. It’s a classic feel that Jordan heads know and love.
