Don't expect React or ZoomX foam here. It's a firm, 90s basketball feel. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the Air Jordan 4 might feel a bit stiff at first. Just being real with you. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's not as bulky as a 5, but has more presence than a 1. The lockdown from the wing eyelets is a signature feature. If you like the Jordan series but want something distinctive, this is a great middle ground. Comparing these to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than an AJ1, for sure. It's got more of a bulky, protective feel. Versus an AJ3, I'd say the 4 is a bit more structured and less curvy in its design. Each model in the Jordan line has its own vibe, and the 4's is all about that rugged, athletic aesthetic. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in hand. First impression? The shape is classic and the color-blocking is super clean. The quality feels solid for a retro. At around $210 USD, it's what you expect. Unboxing this Jordan 4, the materials seem good, not amazing, but good for the price point.
