The fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 has a firm, supportive feel, not super plush like some modern shoes. The lockdown is good, especially with the wing eyelets. It's a comfortable shoe for all-day wear, but don't expect crazy cushioning. It's more about that stable, classic basketball feel. Alright, so here are the "Nike Air Jordan 4s" in hand. First thing I notice? The build quality on this 'Military Blue' colorway is solid. The leather feels decent, and that classic silhouette is just "iconic". The box is clean, everything's presented nicely. For around $210, you expect a certain level, and so far, it's meeting that. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 4" sits between the 3 and the 5 for me. It's not as plush as a well-worn AJ3, but it's more comfortable than a stiff AJ5 out of the box. The silhouette is more angular and bulky than the 1s or 3s, which is part of its charm. It's a distinct look within the "Jordan series". Let's talk pros. The durability of the Air Jordan 4 is a major plus. The materials can take a beating. The style is incredibly iconic—it's a head-turner. Also, for a retro basketball shoe, the breathability from the mesh side panels isn't bad at all. It's a well-thought-out design that has stood the test of time.
