Those hard plastic parts "can" rub if you're not wearing the right socks. It's not the most comfortable Jordan out of the box compared to, say, a Jordan 13. So, if you want immediate cloud-like comfort, maybe look elsewhere. Major pros? The style is unbeatable. This "Nike Air Jordan 4" is an icon. Durability seems good, and it goes with almost anything. The history behind the model is a huge plus for collectors and fans. For $210 USD, you're buying a piece of sneaker history that still looks fresh today. No doubt about it. Bottom line from my experience: The Nike Air Jordan 4 delivers on its promise. It looks incredible on foot, the quality is there, and it connects you to sneaker culture. It's not a perfect, modern shoe, but it's a near-perfect icon. Would I recommend it? For most collectors and style-focused folks, absolutely yes. Just maybe try them on first if you can. Comparing these to, say, a Jordan 1? The Air Jordan 4 is a bulkier, more structured shoe. It offers way more ankle support and has that distinctive techy look. Compared to other Jordan 4s, the 'Military Blue' is up there with the 'Breds' and 'Cements' for me - it's one of the essential original colorways.
