It's just part of the game with this model's leather. Also, the ankle collar can feel a bit stiff initially and might rub some people the wrong way. It breaks in, but it's not for everyone right away. Final verdict? I'm keeping these. The Air Jordan 4 remains one of my favorite models, and this 'Military Blue' colorway is executed really well. If you've been wanting a pair of 4s, this is a fantastic option to start with. Just go in knowing what it is - a legendary, stylish retro, not a modern comfort cloud. Thumbs up from me. Now, a potential con? The outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. 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. Now, a potential con: the toe box creasing. 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.
