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. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the Jordan 4 sits higher than a Jordan 1 and has more structure than a Jordan 3. The cushioning is firmer than the newer, more tech-heavy models. It's a different experience—more about classic style and that iconic profile than modern performance. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, you might want to look at newer tech models. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a significant chunk for a retro shoe with firm cushioning. And if you already have multiple Jordan 4s, this colorway, while iconic, might not feel essential. Who are these for? Honestly, for any sneakerhead who appreciates the classics. If you missed out on the older releases, this 2024 version of the Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' is a must. It's also great for someone wanting a stylish, durable sneaker that isn't overly flashy. You're buying into a legacy with this shoe.
