The ankle collar can rub a bit at first until it breaks in. And at around $210 USD, it's a premium price for a retro that doesn't have modern comfort tech. Now, potential cons. That padded tongue and collar can feel a bit stiff and warm at first. If you like a super-breathable, lightweight shoe, this might not be it. Also, the price point at $210 USD is getting up there for a retro release. 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. On foot, the design "really" pops. The 'Military Blue' accents against the white and grey... it's a versatile, classic look. The mesh panels and those plastic wing eyelets give it that unique texture. In natural light or on camera, this colorway just works. It's not too loud, but it's definitely not boring either.
