It has its flaws (comfort isn't top-tier), but its strengths (design, durability) are why it's loved. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you value design history and a solid wardrobe staple. Just manage your comfort expectations out of the box. Comparing it to other Jordans, the Air Jordan 4 sits in a nice middle ground. It's more substantial than an AJ1, but often more wearable than a bulkier AJ5 or AJ6. For me, it's one of the most versatile silhouettes in the entire Jordan series. Styling-wise, this Jordan 4 is a "legend". On camera, that Military Blue just pops. The mesh panels and plastic wings add great texture. They look fantastic with jeans or shorts. It's a true sneakerhead silhouette that always gets compliments. The design is timeless, no question. Alright, let's get into these. First impression out of the box? The 'Military Blue' Air Jordan 4s look super clean. The leather feels decent, not the absolute best, but the shape is on point. That classic silhouette is just iconic, you know? For $210, you're paying for that history and this specific colorway. It's a straight-to-the-feet kind of shoe for me.
