It's a cornerstone of the Jordan line. You're paying for the heritage, the iconic look, and a solid, comfortable wearing experience. It's not a perfect, cutting-edge performance shoe, but it was never meant to be. It's a classic. 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. On foot, the design "really" pops. The 'Military Blue' accents against the white and grey... it's a versatile, classic look. The mesh panels and those plastic wing eyelets give it that unique texture. In natural light or on camera, this colorway just works. It's not too loud, but it's definitely not boring either. Now, a potential con? The comfort. If you're used to modern, foam-based sneakers, these might feel a bit stiff and heavy at first. They need a brief break-in period. Also, that ankle collar can rub if you wear low-cut socks. It's not for everyone, especially if all-day, cloud-like comfort is your top priority.
