It's got more structure than the 3, but it's not as tech-heavy or angular as the 5. If you like a shoe with presence and a defined heel, this is your jam. The "Nike Air Jordan 4" really holds its own in the lineage. Now, a potential con: the comfort tech is dated. If you're used to React or Zoom Air, the cushioning in this Jordan 4 might feel a bit stiff. It's not a running shoe, obviously. Also, the price—$210 is steep for some, given the materials aren't premium luxury. Now, a potential con for some: the comfort tech is "old". 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. On feet, the design really pops. The 'Military Blue' hits against the white and grey work so well. In natural light, the details like the mesh netting and the heel tab stand out. It's a shoe that gets compliments, for sure. Compared to a bulkier Jordan 5 or a lower-cut Jordan 1, the AJ4 has a unique, chunky-yet-sleek profile that I personally dig.
