The Nike Air Jordan 4, especially in this color, photographs incredibly well. The details—the netting, the heel tab—they all stand out. Wearing them out, they get a lot of looks. It's a shoe that has serious presence without trying too hard. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate cushioning above all, look at React or Boost models. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, $210 USD is an investment. But for the design? I think it's worth it. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's not as bulky as a 5, but has more presence than a 1. The lockdown from the wing eyelets is a signature feature. If you like the Jordan series but want something distinctive, this is a great middle ground. On foot, the design really pops. The mesh panels and plastic detailing on this 'Military Blue' pair have great contrast. They look even better in person than in pics. The shape is bulky in a good way—it gives you that classic, athletic look. The Nike Air branding on the heel is a perfect finish. A very photogenic sneaker, for sure.
