The 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 is a grail for many. Durability seems good—the materials can take a beating. It's also versatile; you can rock these with jeans, shorts, whatever. It's a statement sneaker that doesn't try too hard, you feel me? Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultra-lightweight or maximal cushioning above all else, the Air Jordan 4 might feel a bit clunky. Also, if you need a super breathable shoe for summer, look elsewhere. It's a specific vibe and feel that won't suit every single person's performance or comfort preferences. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits differently than, say, an AJ1. It's bulkier, has more of a mid-top feel. Versus an AJ3, the toebox is a bit roomier. I'd say the 4 is one of the more comfortable early Jordan models, but again, it's that retro firmness. It's a distinct silhouette in the Jordan series, no doubt. Who might want to skip it? If ultimate, all-day comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Performance basketball players should choose modern models. Also, if you prefer low-profile, minimal sneakers, the AJ4's chunkiness might not be your vibe. It's a statement piece.
