The 'Military Blue' colorway is versatile and looks great in person and on camera. The mesh panels and those iconic plastic wings give it that timeless Jordan series look. It's a shoe that gets noticed without being too loud. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a lot for a shoe with outdated cushioning. And if you hate cleaning your sneakers, the light materials on this specific Air Jordan 4 might stress you out. It's not a versatile "performance" buy. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits lower and feels more structured than an Air Jordan 1. It's also less bulky than an Air Jordan 5 or 6. For me, the AJ4 strikes a great balance between a high-top and a mid-top. It's easier to style with different pants compared to some of the taller models in the Jordan series. Now, a potential con? The comfort. If you're used to modern, foam-based sneakers, these might feel a bit stiff and heavy at first. They need a brief break-in period. Also, that ankle collar can rub if you wear low-cut socks. It's not for everyone, especially if all-day, cloud-like comfort is your top priority.
