First impression? The shape is classic and the color-blocking is super clean. The quality feels solid for a retro. At around $210 USD, it's what you expect. Unboxing this Jordan 4, the materials seem good, not amazing, but good for the price point. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I laced up these "Air Jordan 4s" and... yeah, it's a classic experience. The cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards, but you get that familiar, stable feel. The ankle collar gives good support, though it can feel a bit stiff initially. If you're used to modern, bouncy sneakers, this might take some getting used to. On foot, the design "really" pops. The 'Military Blue' accents against the white and grey... it's a versatile, classic look. The mesh panels and those plastic wing eyelets give it that unique texture. In natural light or on camera, this colorway just works. It's not too loud, but it's definitely not boring either. Comparing this 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 to, say, a Jordan 1? It's a totally different animal. The 4 offers more structure and that unique, bulky-yet-sleek look. Versus a Jordan 3, the 4 is less rounded and has those iconic plastic wing eyelets and mesh panels. I think the Jordan 4 has a more technical, "futuristic" (for its time) vibe. It stands out in the Jordan line for sure.
