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. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' in hand. First impression? The shape is "on point" and the color blocking is super clean. The leather feels decent, not the absolute best, but it's solid for a retro. You can tell it's a classic Jordan silhouette right away. Let's get these on foot. Putting these Air Jordan 4s on... the fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot is good, thanks to those plastic wing eyelets. They're not the lightest shoe, you definitely feel the structure, but it's a comfortable, supportive feel. The air unit in the heel? You can feel it, but it's more about stability than crazy cushioning. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits lower and feels more grounded than an AJ1. It's also less bulky than an AJ5. For $210, you're getting a piece of history with a very distinct, blocky silhouette that the Jordan series is famous for. It's a different vibe entirely from a Jordan 11, for example.
