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. 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. Who are these for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who appreciate the history and the silhouette. If you love the Jordan 4 model or the 'Military Blue' color story specifically, you'll be happy. Also great for casual wearers who want a statement shoe that isn't too loud. Now, a potential con? The outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of.
