I laced up these Air Jordan 4s, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's firm – it's that classic Air unit in the heel. Don't expect crazy, bouncy comfort like some modern shoes. The ankle collar gives good support, though. It's a comfortable shoe, but it's more about that iconic feel than plush softness, for sure. Who is this for? Honestly, for any sneaker fan wanting a classic. If you missed the older releases, this 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 is a perfect grab. It's for collectors and casual wearers alike. The colorway is iconic yet easy to style. A safe bet for most. Who are these for? Honestly, for sneakerheads who appreciate the history and the silhouette. If you love the Jordan 4 model or the 'Military Blue' color story specifically, you'll be happy. Also great for casual wearers who want a statement shoe that isn't too loud. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher and is more structured than an AJ1. It's also noticeably heavier than an AJ11. For comfort, a Jordan 13 or later model might beat it. But for pure style and that timeless look? The AJ4 holds its own in the Jordan series, no question.
