It's just part of the deal with this model - the soft leather/nubuck will crease. Also, the ventilation isn't amazing; your feet might get warm. And at ~$210 USD, it's an investment. If you want a super breathable, ultra-light daily runner, this isn't it. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits lower and feels more structured than an Air Jordan 1. It's also less bulky than an Air Jordan 5 or 6. For me, the AJ4 strikes a great balance between a high-top and a mid-top. It's easier to style with different pants compared to some of the taller models in the Jordan series. Alright, so here are the "Nike Air Jordan 4s" in hand. First thing I notice? The build quality on this 'Military Blue' colorway is solid. The leather feels decent, and that classic silhouette is just "iconic". The box is clean, everything's presented nicely. For around $210, you expect a certain level, and so far, it's meeting that. Major pros? Timeless style, no question. The 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 is a grail for many. Durability seems good—the materials can take a beating. It's also versatile; you can rock these with jeans, shorts, whatever. It's a statement sneaker that doesn't try too hard, you feel me?
