It's a straightforward, well-executed retro. The Jordan series has many highs, and this is one of them. Would I recommend it? Yes, especially if you dig the colorway. It's a versatile addition to any rotation. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits lower and feels more grounded than an AJ1. It's also less bulky than an AJ5. For $210, you're getting a piece of history with a very distinct, blocky silhouette that the Jordan series is famous for. It's a different vibe entirely from a Jordan 11, for example. 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 like this Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue'. It's a faithful retro of a legendary colorway. For me, the pros—the timeless look, the secure fit, the heritage—outweigh the cons of the basic comfort. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with those caveats. Try a pair on if you can to feel the fit for yourself.
