It can feel a bit rigid and boxy for some foot shapes. If you have wider feet, you might need to go half a size up. It's not the most forgiving fit initially. The Air Jordan 4 requires a short break-in period for optimal comfort. Just something to keep in mind before you cop. Comparing this 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 to, say, a Jordan 1? It's a totally different animal. The 4 offers more structure and that unique, bulky-yet-sleek look. Versus a Jordan 3, the 4 is less rounded and has those iconic plastic wing eyelets and mesh panels. I think the Jordan 4 has a more technical, "futuristic" (for its time) vibe. It stands out in the Jordan line for sure. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, maybe look at newer models. The price, $210, is steep for some for a retro. If you're not into maintenance, the light-colored nubuck might stress you out. It's a lifestyle piece first. Who should maybe skip it? Performance seekers or comfort-first buyers. If you're on your feet all day and need modern cushioning, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer a minimal, low-profile sneaker, the Air Jordan 4's chunkiness might not be your vibe. It's a statement piece, not a barefoot-feel shoe.
