I laced up these "Air Jordan 4s" and... yeah, it's a classic experience. The cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards, but you get that familiar, stable feel. The ankle collar gives good support, though it can feel a bit stiff initially. If you're used to modern, bouncy sneakers, this might take some getting used to. Potential cons? The materials could be better for the price—some might find the leather a bit stiff. Also, that firm cushioning I mentioned might not be for everyone, especially if you're used to super plush sneakers. And the toe box creases... it's gonna happen. It's part of the charm, but some people hate that. Potential downside? The break-in. The heel collar can be stiff at first and might rub. Also, the outsole traction on dust can be just okay. If you want a super soft, cloud-like step-in feel, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 4 is about heritage and style over max comfort tech. On foot, this 'Military Blue' colorway really pops. The contrast with the black accents and grey midsole is just iconic. It's a shoe that looks great in photos and even better in person. A true staple for any sneaker rotation.
