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. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 is never the plushest shoe, and that's true here. The cushioning is firm but responsive. The lockdown is good, especially around the midfoot with those plastic wings. They're not heavy, but you feel the structure. It's a supportive feel, not a cloud-like one. Just being real about the Air Jordan 4 experience. Comparing it to my other Jordans, the 4 sits uniquely. It's bulkier than a 3, more structured than a 5. It has its own identity in the Jordan series lineage. The price is consistent with other retros. It's a foundational sneaker in any collection. Now, a potential con: the outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. It needs some break-in time. Also, if you're used to modern, super-plush sneakers, the cushioning here might feel a bit basic or dated.
