Also, that firm cushioning I mentioned might not be for everyone, especially if you're used to super plush sneakers. And the toe box creases... it's gonna happen. It's part of the charm, but some people hate that. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 has a decent comfort level. It's not super plush like some modern shoes, but the Air unit in the heel does its job. The lockdown is pretty good once you lace them up. For a retro basketball shoe, the feel is what I anticipated—supportive but not exactly a cloud. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1. It's also a bit bulkier than a Jordan 3. But that's its charm! It has a unique, chunky profile that I really love. For casual wear, I might prefer this over some of the lower-cut models. 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.
