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. Who are these for? Honestly, for any sneakerhead who appreciates the classics. If you missed out on the older releases, this 2024 version of the Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' is a must. It's also great for someone wanting a stylish, durable sneaker that isn't overly flashy. You're buying into a legacy with this shoe. Major pros? Durability and style. The materials on this Air Jordan 4 are built to last. The design is iconic and goes with almost anything. It's a shoe you can wear for years and it still looks relevant. That's the power of a great Jordan retro. Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 4"... initial thoughts? The fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot from those plastic wings is "immediate" and really secure. It's not a super plush, modern feel—you definitely feel the firmness of the midsole. But hey, that's part of the classic Jordan DNA, right?
