It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. 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. Potential downside? The break-in. The heel collar can be stiff at first and might rub. Also, the outsole traction on dust can be just okay. If you want a super soft, cloud-like step-in feel, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 4 is about heritage and style over max comfort tech. Who should skip it? If you're all about ultra-boost-like comfort, look elsewhere. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 for a retro is steep. Maybe try a more recent Jordan model with better tech. The Air Jordan 4 is for style-first people.
