It's a firm, supportive ride, not super plush. The lockdown is good, but the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. Compared to a Jordan 1, the AJ4 definitely has more of that 90s basketball shoe feel. It's a statement piece, for sure. Now, a potential con: the ventilation isn't great. Those solid leather and plastic areas don't breathe much. Also, if you're used to super soft, bouncy sneakers like some modern runners, the Air Jordan 4's cushioning might feel a bit dated or too firm for you. Just being real. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's not as plush as a well-worn AJ3, but it's more comfortable than a stiff AJ5 out of the box. The silhouette is more angular and bulky than the 1s or 3s, which is part of its charm. It's a distinct look within the "Jordan series". Alright, so I just got my hands on the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue'! First impression? The shape is "super" clean. The color blocking is classic, and the nubuck feels decent. For $210 USD, the initial quality seems on point. Let's see how they feel on foot.
