The color blocking is classic, you know? The white, grey, and that pop of blue just work. Holding it, the materials feel good—not super premium, but solid for a $210 retro. The nubuck is nice and soft right out of the box. Let's see how it feels on foot. Now, for some real talk - potential cons. The toe box on the Air Jordan 4 can feel a bit narrow for people with wider feet. Also, the outsole is flat, so traction on wet surfaces isn't the best. If you're looking for a performance basketball shoe or max comfort, this retro isn't really built for that. On feet, the 'Military Blue' colorway really pops. It's a versatile retro look that works with so much. The design details, like the mesh netting and plastic wing eyelets, just scream 80s/90s basketball. This Air Jordan 4 is definitely a head-turner, but in a more subtle, classic way compared to some louder retros. 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.
