The Air Jordan 4 has that familiar, slightly firm cushioning. It's comfortable for all-day wear, not super plush like modern runners. The lockdown is good, and the weight feels average. It's a true Jordan series experience—reliable, not revolutionary. Who might want to pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, or if you find the $210 USD price tag steep for a retro with simpler tech, you might look at other options. It's an investment in style, not just comfort. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits differently than, say, an AJ1. It's bulkier, has more of a mid-top feel. Versus an AJ3, the toebox is a bit roomier. I'd say the 4 is one of the more comfortable early Jordan models, but again, it's that retro firmness. It's a distinct silhouette in the Jordan series, no doubt. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in hand. First impression? The quality is solid. The nubuck feels decent, and that classic Air Jordan 4 silhouette is just iconic, man. Unboxing this colorway, especially, feels like a real piece of history. The price was around $210 USD, which is standard for a Jordan retro these days.
