The materials on this Nike Air Jordan 4 are tough. That nubuck and plastic wing eyelets are built to last. It's a shoe you can actually wear regularly without worrying too much about creasing or quick wear. For a retro, that's a huge plus in my book. It feels substantial. Putting these Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is fantastic—really locks you in. The Air unit in the heel? You feel it, but it's not super plush like some modern sneakers. It's a firm, supportive cushioning that I actually prefer for all-day wear. Putting these Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The upper is supportive, but I gotta say, the break-in period is real. The forefoot can feel a bit stiff initially. It's not the "most" plush Jordan out of the gate, but that's kinda expected with this model. The Air unit in the heel does its job, though. My final take? I like this Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue'. It's a faithful retro of a legendary colorway. For me, the pros—the timeless look, the secure fit, the heritage—outweigh the cons of the basic comfort. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with those caveats. Try a pair on if you can to feel the fit for yourself.
