The Air Jordan 4 isn't the most cushioned shoe ever, but you definitely feel that heel Air unit. The lockdown is good, and they're not too heavy. A comfortable, classic basketball sneaker feel. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 4" sits right between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. 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. Putting these Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The upper is supportive, but I gotta say, the break-in period is real. The forefoot can feel a bit stiff initially. It's not the "most" plush Jordan out of the gate, but that's kinda expected with this model. The Air unit in the heel does its job, though. In summary: The Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' is a solid retro release. Great materials, iconic look, but with that classic, firm ride. It's a sneaker you buy for the heart and the eyes, not just the feet. Would I cop again? For this colorway, yes—it's a piece of sneaker history. Just manage your comfort expectations!
