The soft leather on the toe box will crease, and it happens fast. If you're super obsessive about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bug you. Also, the ventilation isn't great; it can get a bit warm. Just keeping it real with you guys. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 has a decent comfort level. It's not super plush like some modern shoes, but the Air unit in the heel does its job. The lockdown is pretty good once you lace them up. For a retro basketball shoe, the feel is what I anticipated—supportive but not exactly a cloud. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits differently than, say, an AJ1. It's bulkier, has more of a mid-top feel. Versus an AJ3, the toebox is a bit roomier. I'd say the 4 is one of the more comfortable early Jordan models, but again, it's that retro firmness. It's a distinct silhouette in the Jordan series, no doubt. So, is it worth the $210? For me, yes. You're paying for the legacy, the look, and a solid wearing experience. The Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' gets a thumbs up. It's not trying to be something it's not. It's just a great classic sneaker, back on the shelves.
