It lives up to the hype for me. The look is unbeatable, and once broken in, it's a comfortable, supportive wear. It's not perfect for "everyone", but for its target audience? It's a must-have. What do you guys think of this release? Let me know Who might want to skip it? If you need maximum cushioning for all-day standing, look at newer models. Also, if you prefer a more streamlined, low-profile sneaker, the bulk of the Air Jordan 4 might not be your thing. It's a style-first shoe, remember that. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 has a decent comfort level. It's not super plush like some modern shoes, but the Air unit in the heel does its job. The lockdown is pretty good once you lace them up. For a retro basketball shoe, the feel is what I anticipated—supportive but not exactly a cloud. Big pro for these Nike Air Jordan 4 retros? Timeless style. You really can't go wrong with this silhouette. The build quality on this 'Military Blue' version is consistent. It's a durable shoe that holds up. For around $210 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's super wearable. That's a major plus in my book.
