Those hard plastic parts "can" rub if you're not wearing the right socks. It's not the most comfortable Jordan out of the box compared to, say, a Jordan 13. So, if you want immediate cloud-like comfort, maybe look elsewhere. Who might want to pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, or if you find the $210 USD price tag steep for a retro with simpler tech, you might look at other options. It's an investment in style, not just comfort. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in hand. First impression? The shape is classic, and the color blocking is super clean. The nubuck feels decent, though not super premium. For $210 USD, it's a solid start. Unboxing this Jordan 4 always feels special. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. The cushioning is also different—more of a firm, responsive feel compared to the softer, pillowy setup in something like a Jordan 13. It's a distinct experience.
