The materials on this version can take a beating. The outsole is tough, and the upper won't crease too badly. It's a shoe you can actually wear often without babying it. For a $210 USD sneaker, that's important. It's built like a tank, in the best way possible. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 sits lower than a Jordan 1 and has more tech than a Jordan 3. The support is better for me than a Jordan 5. It's a great middle-ground model in the Jordan series. Each has its vibe, but the 4 is iconic. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me, with a good, secure lockdown around the midfoot from those plastic wings. The cushioning? It's firm. Don't expect Boost or ZoomX softness here. The Air Jordan 4 has that classic, supportive feel—it's comfortable for all-day wear, but it's not a "cloud" by any means. You feel stable, though. Alright, so I just got my hands on the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in the mail. First thing I noticed? The shape is "on point" – the silhouette is just classic. The materials feel pretty good for a retro, you know? The nubuck is soft, and that 'Military Blue' colorway... it's just clean. Honestly, a solid first impression right out of the box.
