The Air Jordan 4 remains one of my favorite models, and this 'Military Blue' colorway is executed really well. If you've been wanting a pair of 4s, this is a fantastic option to start with. Just go in knowing what it is - a legendary, stylish retro, not a modern comfort cloud. Thumbs up from me. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less sleek than a 1, but has more going on than a 3. The comfort is different from an AJ11, which is more court-focused. This is a lifestyle/retro basketball hybrid. It has its own unique place in the Jordan series lineage, no doubt. Now, potential cons... The toe box creases easily, that's just the nature of the leather. Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit might be snug. And like I said, if you're used to modern, bouncy cushioning like React or Boost, the Air unit in these might feel a bit dated. It's something to consider. Alright, so here are the "Nike Air Jordan 4s" in hand. First thing I notice? The build quality on this 'Military Blue' colorway is solid. The leather feels decent, and that classic silhouette is just "iconic". The box is clean, everything's presented nicely. For around $210, you expect a certain level, and so far, it's meeting that.
