It's for the collector or the casual wearer who wants a stylish, statement shoe. If you love the Jordan 4 silhouette and this 'Military Blue' colorway speaks to you, you'll be happy. It's a classic for a reason. 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. 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. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's chunkier than a 3, but I think it has more of a modern, wearable shape. The 4 is less bulky than a Jordan 5 or 6. For casual wear, the AJ4 is probably one of the most versatile models in the entire Jordan series lineup.
