It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. Alright, so the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' just arrived. First thing I noticed? The quality is solid. The leather feels nice, and that classic silhouette is just iconic. Unboxing these is always a vibe, you know? The colorway is clean and super versatile. For $210 USD, the presentation feels right. Definitely a strong first impression from this Jordan series release. Now, the cons. The main drawback for some will be the comfort tech—or lack thereof. It's a 1989 cushioning setup. If you're used to modern performance shoes, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck upper? It can be a dirt magnet, especially in this light colorway. You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's for sneakerheads who appreciate the history of the Jordan series. It's for style-focused wearers who value a classic silhouette over max comfort. If you love the AJ4 design, specifically this 'Military Blue' colorway, you'll likely be happy with your purchase.
