The breathability isn't great; your feet will get warm. Also, that firm midsole cushioning I mentioned—if you want plush, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable on these. It's part of the charm for some, a deal-breaker for others. In summary, the Nike Air Jordan 4 delivers on its legacy. Great looks, decent comfort, and timeless style. It's not a perfect performance shoe today, but as a lifestyle icon? It's absolutely still at the top of its game. A solid cop. Now, the cons. The main drawback for some will be the comfort tech—or lack thereof. It's a 1989 cushioning setup. If you're used to modern performance shoes, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck upper? It can be a dirt magnet, especially in this light colorway. You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in hand. 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.
