It's bulkier, more of a statement. The cushioning is also different—more impact protection than the 1s, but not as plush as, say, a Jordan 13. It occupies its own unique space in the Jordan series, and that's why it's so beloved. Alright, so here's the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in hand. First thing I noticed? The quality is solid. The nubuck feels nice, and that classic silhouette just pops. The colorway is clean and versatile. For $210, the initial impression is pretty good, honestly. Let's talk on-feet. Slipping into this "Jordan 4", the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is "immediate" – you really feel locked in. It's not the lightest shoe, you definitely notice the weight, but it's not uncomfortable. The cushioning from the Air unit is there, but it's more about stability than crazy softness, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. The major pro of this Air Jordan 4 is its style. It's an iconic design that goes with almost anything. The quality of this retro is consistent, and it's a durable shoe. You're buying a legend, and that's a big part of the appeal for any Jordan series fan.
