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. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits lower and feels more structured than an Air Jordan 1. It's also less bulky than an Air Jordan 5 or 6. For me, the AJ4 strikes a great balance between a high-top and a mid-top. It's easier to style with different pants compared to some of the taller models in the Jordan series. So, who is this "Air Jordan 4" for? Sneakerheads who love the silhouette, obviously. People wanting a classic, versatile shoe to style. If you appreciate basketball history and iconic design, this is a must. At around "$210 USD", it's a standard retro price for a legendary model. Final verdict? I'm really liking this "Nike Air Jordan 4" 'Military Blue'. It's a faithful retro of a grail for many. The looks are 10/10, the fit is great for me. Just manage your comfort expectations. For the right person, it's 100% worth it. What do you guys think? Let me know below!
