It's a firm, supportive ride, not super plush. The lockdown is good, but the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. Compared to a Jordan 1, the AJ4 definitely has more of that 90s basketball shoe feel. It's a statement piece, for sure. Comparing these to, say, a Jordan 1? The Air Jordan 4 is a bulkier, more structured shoe. It offers way more ankle support and has that distinctive techy look. Compared to other Jordan 4s, the 'Military Blue' is up there with the 'Breds' and 'Cements' for me - it's one of the essential original colorways. 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. On feet, the 'Military Blue' really pops. The contrast with the black and grey works so well. In natural light, the nubuck looks great. This is one of those Air Jordan 4 colorways that looks even better in person than in photos. It's a versatile sneaker that goes with a lot of fits.
