It's an investment in style, not just comfort. On feet, the 'Military Blue' colorway really pops. It's a versatile retro look that works with so much. The design details, like the mesh netting and plastic wing eyelets, just scream 80s/90s basketball. This Air Jordan 4 is definitely a head-turner, but in a more subtle, classic way compared to some louder retros. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits in a nice middle ground. It's more substantial and has more tech (visually) than an AJ1, but it's often more wearable than the super-techy later models. The price point of $210 is pretty standard for a retro these days. You're paying for that legacy and this specific, beloved colorway. Putting these Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is fantastic—really locks you in. The Air unit in the heel? You feel it, but it's not super plush like some modern sneakers. It's a firm, supportive cushioning that I actually prefer for all-day wear.
