The 4 offers more structure and that unique, bulky-yet-sleek look. Versus a Jordan 3, the 4 is less rounded and has those iconic plastic wing eyelets and mesh panels. I think the Jordan 4 has a more technical, "futuristic" (for its time) vibe. It stands out in the Jordan line for sure. Who should skip it? If supreme, cloud-like comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Also, if you have very wide feet, definitely try before you buy. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is a commitment for a shoe that needs a break-in period. It's an investment in style over immediate comfort. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and the quality on these is honestly solid for the price point, which is around $210 USD. The grey nubuck feels nice, and that pop of blue? It's a classic for a reason. Really happy with how this retro looks straight out of the box. Comparing these to, say, a Jordan 1? The Air Jordan 4 is a bulkier, more structured shoe. It offers way more ankle support and has that distinctive techy look. Compared to other Jordan 4s, the 'Military Blue' is up there with the 'Breds' and 'Cements' for me - it's one of the essential original colorways.
