The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's more about impact protection than bounce. The shoe isn't heavy, but you feel its presence. Break-in is real with these; they'll get more comfortable with wear, I can already tell. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 cushioning is firm but comfortable – it's not super plush like modern runners, but you get that nice, stable ride. The lockdown around the midfoot is great thanks to those iconic wings. Honestly, a very wearable sneaker right out of the box. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First thing out of the box? The shape is "super" clean on this retro. The materials feel solid, not cheap at all. Honestly, for a classic "Jordan" silhouette, this is a strong start. The price point is around $210 USD, which is pretty standard for a retro release these days. On feet, the 'Military Blue' colorway looks even better. The contrast with the black accents and grey mesh is just "so" good in natural light. It's a shoe that works with almost anything—jeans, shorts, you name it. The design is busy in a good way, with all those panels and the plastic wing eyelets.
