Durability is a big plus – the materials can take a beating. The style is unmatched; it's a sneaker that always gets compliments. For $210, it's a fair price for a piece of sneaker history. The Nike Air Jordan 4 just has that presence. 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. Is it worth it? For a collector or a fan of the lineage, 100%. The "Air Jordan 4" 'Military Blue' is a grail for many. For a casual wearer just wanting comfort? Maybe not your first pick. There are more modern, cushion-focused shoes out there. But for the style and heritage, it's a strong yes from me. Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 4"... initial thoughts? The fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot from those plastic wings is "immediate" and really secure. It's not a super plush, modern feel—you definitely feel the firmness of the midsole. But hey, that's part of the classic Jordan DNA, right?
