It's just part of the deal with this model - the soft leather/nubuck will crease. Also, the ventilation isn't amazing; your feet might get warm. And at ~$210 USD, it's an investment. If you want a super breathable, ultra-light daily runner, this isn't it. Who is this for? Honestly, it's for the sneakerhead who loves classic silhouettes. If you're into the Jordan series history and want a versatile, iconic shoe, the Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' is a great pick. It's a staple for any rotation. My final take? I'm really liking this Air Jordan 4. It lives up to the hype for me. The look, the fit, the heritage – it all comes together. Is it the most comfortable shoe ever? No. But as a total package from the Jordan series, it's a strong offering. I'd say it's worth it for fans. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 4" has a bit of a break-in period, honestly. Initial step-in comfort is okay—you definitely feel that heel Air unit—but the forefoot is a little firm out of the box. The lockdown from the wings and laces is good, though. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that sturdy construction.
