The breathability isn't great; your feet will get warm. Also, that firm midsole cushioning I mentioned—if you want plush, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable on these. It's part of the charm for some, a deal-breaker for others. On feet, the 'Military Blue' colorway looks even better. The contrast with the black accents and grey mesh is just "so" good in natural light. It's a shoe that works with almost anything—jeans, shorts, you name it. The design is busy in a good way, with all those panels and the plastic wing eyelets. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits lower and feels more grounded than an AJ1. It's also less bulky than an AJ5. For $210, you're getting a piece of history with a very distinct, blocky silhouette that the Jordan series is famous for. It's a different vibe entirely from a Jordan 11, for example. 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.
