First thing I notice with this 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4 is the quality. The nubuck feels solid, and that classic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For $210, you expect good materials, and these deliver right out of the gate. The color blocking is super clean and iconic. It's a strong first impression, honestly. Now, a potential con for some: the comfort tech is "old". Don't expect React or ZoomX foam here. It's a firm, 90s basketball feel. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the Air Jordan 4 might feel a bit stiff at first. Just being real with you. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4's upper provides a secure, locked-down feel, which I really like. It's not the lightest shoe ever, but you feel that stability. The cushioning from the Air unit is firm but comfortable—great for all-day wear. It’s a classic feel that Jordan heads know and love. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's less bulky than a 5, but has more structure than a 3. The cushioning is firmer than an AJ1, for sure. If you like that retro, supportive build, this is a great pick. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series.
