It's bulkier, more of a statement. The cushioning is also different—more impact protection than the 1s, but not as plush as, say, a Jordan 13. It occupies its own unique space in the Jordan series, and that's why it's so beloved. On feet, the 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4s really pop. The contrast with the black accents and grey mesh is just "chef's kiss". They look even better in natural light than in the box. This is a shoe that gets noticed. If you're into that retro basketball aesthetic, this colorway is a must-have. It's a straight-up classic. Now, the cons, or things to consider. The toe box creases... it's gonna happen, especially with this leather. Breathability isn't amazing due to the materials. And if you're used to modern, ultra-plush sneakers, the "Nike Air Jordan 4" might feel a bit dated and rigid in terms of overall comfort tech. Alright, so the box just arrived. 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.
