If you're on a tight budget, $210 is a commitment. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers for mobility, the high-cut collar of the AJ4 might not be your thing. It's a specific vibe. My final take? I'm really liking this Air Jordan 4. It delivers exactly what you expect: a classic, stylish silhouette with decent comfort. It's not trying to be something it's not. For a retro, the execution is on point. Would I recommend it? For fans of the model, absolutely. It's a staple. Now, the cons. The main drawback for some will be the comfort tech—or lack thereof. It's a 1989 cushioning setup. If you're used to modern performance shoes, this will feel stiff. Also, that nubuck upper? It can be a dirt magnet, especially in this light colorway. You gotta be prepared to clean these Air Jordan 4s regularly. They're not a "beat 'em up" daily driver for everyone. My final take? I love the Air Jordan 4. This 'Military Blue' is a grail for many, and getting a solid retro is awesome. For $210, you're getting a legendary design. If you've always wanted a pair, I think it's totally worth it.
