It might require a break-in period. Also, the traction on super smooth surfaces isn't the best. It's a lifestyle shoe first, so don't expect elite court performance from this retro. My final take? I really like this Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue'. It's a faithful retro with good materials. The $210 USD price is standard for the market now. Would I recommend it? Yes—if you love the design and understand the fit. It's a cornerstone sneaker. Not perfect for everyone, but a solid pick for many. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 4" has a bit of a break-in period, honestly. Initial step-in comfort is okay—you definitely feel that heel Air unit—but the forefoot is a little firm out of the box. The lockdown from the wings and laces is good, though. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that sturdy construction. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 4" in the 'Military Blue' colorway. First thing out of the box? The shape is "super" clean on this retro. The materials feel solid, not cheap at all. Honestly, for a classic "Jordan" silhouette, this is a strong start. The price point is around $210 USD, which is pretty standard for a retro release these days.
