It's bulkier but also offers more ankle support. Versus a Jordan 3, the toe box feels roomier. The Jordan 4 has its own unique vibe – it's sportier and more technical-looking than some of the earlier models in the series. Alright, so I just got my hands on the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in the mail. First thing I noticed? The shape is "on point" – the silhouette is just classic. The materials feel pretty good for a retro, you know? The nubuck is soft, and that 'Military Blue' colorway... it's just clean. Honestly, a solid first impression right out of the box. On feet, walking around? The "Nike Air Jordan 4" has a distinct, slightly stiff feel at first. The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's more about impact protection than bounce. The shoe isn't heavy, but you feel its presence. Break-in is real with these; they'll get more comfortable with wear, I can already tell. Who should maybe skip it? If you need ultimate comfort or modern tech, look elsewhere. Performance basketball players, this isn't your game shoe. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit can be snug. It's a lifestyle icon first, not a cutting-edge performance model.
