The 4 offers more structure and that unique, bulky-yet-sleek look. Versus a Jordan 3, the 4 is less rounded and has those iconic plastic wing eyelets and mesh panels. I think the Jordan 4 has a more technical, "futuristic" (for its time) vibe. It stands out in the Jordan line for sure. On feet, the 'Military Blue' colorway looks even better. The contrast with the black accents and grey mesh is just "so" good in natural light. It's a shoe that works with almost anything—jeans, shorts, you name it. The design is busy in a good way, with all those panels and the plastic wing eyelets. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and the quality on these feels solid right out of the box. That classic silhouette, man... it's just iconic. You're looking at around $210 USD for these. Let's get them on feet. Now, for some real talk - potential cons. The toe box on the Air Jordan 4 can feel a bit narrow for people with wider feet. Also, the outsole is flat, so traction on wet surfaces isn't the best. If you're looking for a performance basketball shoe or max comfort, this retro isn't really built for that.
