The 4 offers more structure and that unique, bulky-yet-sleek look. Versus a Jordan 3, the 4 is less rounded and has those iconic plastic wing eyelets and mesh panels. I think the Jordan 4 has a more technical, "futuristic" (for its time) vibe. It stands out in the Jordan line for sure. Now, a potential con? The toe box can be a bit stiff and boxy for some foot shapes. It might require a break-in period. Also, the traction on super smooth surfaces isn't the best. It's a lifestyle shoe first, so don't expect elite court performance from this retro. So, would I recommend copping? If you've been eyeing the Nike Air Jordan 4, especially this 'Military Blue' version, I say go for it. It's a legendary silhouette that's easy to wear. Just go in knowing what it is: a firm, stylish retro. For me, it's a definite yes – a great addition to any rotation. Let's talk pros. The biggest advantage of this Nike Air Jordan 4 is the style—it's an iconic silhouette that goes with almost anything. The build quality on this release is consistent. I also appreciate the ventilation from the mesh side panels; it helps a bit with breathability. For $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's still very wearable today. That's a win.
