First off, the color-blocking is just "clean". The white, grey, and that iconic blue hit? It's a classic for a reason. The suede feels decent, not super plush, but the overall shape & build quality out of the box looks solid. A great start for this retro. My final take? I'm really digging this "Air Jordan 4" 'Military Blue'. It delivers exactly what you expect: great looks, solid construction, and that classic Jordan vibe. It's not trying to be something it's not. For the price, I think it's a worthwhile pickup, especially if this colorway speaks to you. Now, a potential con? The toe box creasing. It's just part of the game with this model's leather. Also, the ankle collar can feel a bit stiff initially and might rub some people the wrong way. It breaks in, but it's not for everyone right away. On foot now, and the initial comfort is... okay. It's a retro, so don't expect Boost or ZoomX. The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's firm. The lockdown from the wings and laces is actually really good—my foot feels secure. For a Jordan 4, it's not too heavy. It's a comfortable shoe for casual wear, but I wouldn't run in it, obviously. The break-in period is real with these.
