It's less sleek than a 1, but has more going on than a 3. The comfort is different from an AJ11, which is more court-focused. This is a lifestyle/retro basketball hybrid. It has its own unique place in the Jordan series lineage, no doubt. Now, a potential con? The outsole on the Air Jordan 4 can be a bit stiff initially. It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. Alright, so I just got my hands on the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in the mail. First thing I noticed? The shape is "on point" – the silhouette is just classic. The materials feel pretty good for a retro, you know? The nubuck is soft, and that 'Military Blue' colorway... it's just clean. Honestly, a solid first impression right out of the box. So, is it worth the price? For $210 USD, you're paying for the legacy, the design, and the quality. You're not getting the latest tech, but you're getting a classic. If you love the Air Jordan 4 silhouette, this colorway is essential. For me, it's a definite yes. What do you guys think?
