It needs a short break-in period. Also, the nubuck can be prone to creasing and water spots. If you're super rough on your kicks, maybe consider that. It's a retro, so don't expect ultra-modern, bouncy tech. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in hand. First off, the shape on this retro is "really" solid. The leather feels decent, not amazing, but the iconic silhouette and that classic color blocking? It's a timeless look. Unboxing this Jordan 4, you instantly get that '89 vibe. Let's talk pros. The durability of the Air Jordan 4 is a major plus. The materials can take a beating. The style is incredibly iconic—it's a head-turner. Also, for a retro basketball shoe, the breathability from the mesh side panels isn't bad at all. It's a well-thought-out design that has stood the test of time. Now, potential cons... The toe box creases easily – that's just the nature of the materials. Also, if you need extreme cushioning, look elsewhere. The Air Jordan 4 is about style and heritage over cloud-like comfort. The price, $210, might also be steep for some for a retro that hasn't changed much tech-wise.
