Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 for a retro is steep. Maybe try a more recent Jordan model with better tech. The Air Jordan 4 is for style-first people. Alright, so here are the "Nike Air Jordan 4" 'Military Blue' in hand. First off, the color-blocking is just "clean". The white, grey, and that iconic blue hit? It's a classic for a reason. The suede feels decent, not super plush, but the overall shape & build quality out of the box looks solid. A great start for this retro. Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot is good, thanks to those plastic wing eyelets. They're not the lightest shoe, you definitely feel the structure, but it's a comfortable, supportive feel. The air unit in the heel? You can feel it, but it's more about stability than crazy cushioning. Potential downside? The break-in. The heel collar can be stiff at first and might rub. Also, the outsole traction on dust can be just okay. If you want a super soft, cloud-like step-in feel, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 4 is about heritage and style over max comfort tech.
