It needs a short break-in period for optimal flexibility. Also, that plastic lace lock / wing system? It can sometimes press on the top of your foot if you lace too tight. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. Major pros? Durability and style. The materials on this version are tough – that plastic wing eyelets and heel tab are built to last. It's a timeless design that goes with almost anything. For $210, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's also a practical, everyday wear. That's a win in my book. On feet, the 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4s really pop. The contrast with the black accents and grey mesh is just "chef's kiss". They look even better in natural light than in the box. This is a shoe that gets noticed. If you're into that retro basketball aesthetic, this colorway is a must-have. It's a straight-up classic. Comparing these to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's bulkier but also offers more ankle support. Versus a Jordan 3, the toe box feels roomier. The Jordan 4 has its own unique vibe – it's sportier and more technical-looking than some of the earlier models in the series.
