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. Who are these for? Honestly, for any sneakerhead who appreciates the classics. If you missed out on the older releases, this 2024 version of the Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue' is a must. It's also great for someone wanting a stylish, durable sneaker that isn't overly flashy. You're buying into a legacy with this shoe. Who might want to pass? If you're purely chasing cloud-like comfort, look at something like a New Balance or a modern Nike runner. Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit can be narrow in the midfoot. And if you hate visible creasing on your sneakers, this model might give you some anxiety. Big pro for the Air Jordan 4: durability. The materials on this version can take a beating. The outsole is tough, and the upper won't crease too badly. It's a shoe you can actually wear often without babying it. For a $210 USD sneaker, that's important. It's built like a tank, in the best way possible.
