They live up to the hype for me. The look, the fit, the history—it all works. Are they the most comfortable shoe ever? No. But for a lifestyle sneaker with that iconic Jordan series DNA, they're excellent. I'd definitely recommend picking them up if you love the model. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 4" has a bit of a break-in period, honestly. Initial step-in comfort is okay—you definitely feel that heel Air unit—but the forefoot is a little firm out of the box. The lockdown from the wings and laces is good, though. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that sturdy construction. Now, a potential con: the toe box. It can crease pretty noticeably. Also, that firm midsole isn't for everyone—if you're on your feet all day, you might want more cushion. The price, $210, is steep for the tech you're getting. Just being real with you guys. Who is this for? Honestly, for any sneaker fan wanting a classic. If you missed the older releases, this 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 is a perfect grab. It's for collectors and casual wearers alike. The colorway is iconic yet easy to style. A safe bet for most.
