It has its quirks, but the look is undeniable. My advice? Try them on if you can. For the right person, it's an easy recommendation from my experience. Final verdict? I'm keeping these. The Air Jordan 4 remains one of my favorite models, and this 'Military Blue' colorway is executed really well. If you've been wanting a pair of 4s, this is a fantastic option to start with. Just go in knowing what it is - a legendary, stylish retro, not a modern comfort cloud. Thumbs up from me. 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". The design is timeless. The mesh panels and those plastic wing eyelets are just iconic. On camera, this 'Military Blue' colorway really pops against simple fits. It's a versatile sneaker that works with a lot of styles. As a Jordan release, it's a must-have for collectors of the series.
