I laced up these Air Jordan 4s, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's firm – it's that classic Air unit in the heel. Don't expect crazy, bouncy comfort like some modern shoes. The ankle collar gives good support, though. It's a comfortable shoe, but it's more about that iconic feel than plush softness, for sure. To wrap it up: The "Air Jordan 4" 'Military Blue' is a strong retro release. Great materials, timeless look, decent comfort for its type. Know what you're buying – a classic, not a tech marvel. For sneakerheads and casual wearers alike, it's a worthwhile addition. Thumbs up from me. What do you guys think? Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's not as bulky as a 5, but has more presence than a 1. The lockdown from the wing eyelets is a signature feature. If you like the Jordan series but want something distinctive, this is a great middle ground. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The AJ4 is a bit bulkier, a bit more of a statement. Versus a Jordan 3, I'd say the 4 feels more structured and locked down. It's a different kind of comfort—more about support than sinking-in softness. If you like that substantial, protective feel, you'll appreciate this.
