Also, if you need a super breathable shoe for summer, look elsewhere. It's a specific vibe and feel that won't suit every single person's performance or comfort preferences. On feet now, and the comfort is decent. It's a firm, supportive ride, not super plush. The lockdown is good, but the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. Compared to a Jordan 1, the AJ4 definitely has more of that 90s basketball shoe feel. It's a statement piece, for sure. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in hand, and my first thought is: the shape is "so" clean. The color blocking is classic, you know? The white, grey, and that pop of blue just work. Holding it, the materials feel good—not super premium, but solid for a $210 retro. The nubuck is nice and soft right out of the box. Let's see how it feels on foot. Let's talk on-feet. Slipping into this "Jordan 4", the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is "immediate" – you really feel locked in. It's not the lightest shoe, you definitely notice the weight, but it's not uncomfortable. The cushioning from the Air unit is there, but it's more about stability than crazy softness, which I actually prefer for all-day wear.
