It's a faithful retro of a legendary colorway. For me, the pros—the timeless look, the secure fit, the heritage—outweigh the cons of the basic comfort. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with those caveats. Try a pair on if you can to feel the fit for yourself. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and the quality on these is honestly solid for the price point, which is around $210 USD. The grey nubuck feels nice, and that pop of blue? It's a classic for a reason. Really happy with how this retro looks straight out of the box. 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. Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot is good, thanks to those plastic wings. The cushioning? It's firm. You're not getting Zoom Air comfort here, it's that classic '80s/90s feel. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure. It's a different experience from modern performance shoes.
