This 'Military Blue' "AJ4" just pops. The mesh panels and those plastic lace loops add so much texture. It's a bulky silhouette, but in a cool, statement-making way. Styling with jeans or shorts? Super easy. The design details really shine when you're moving. Comparing these to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 4 sits higher off the ground than an AJ1, for sure. It's got more of a bulky, protective feel. Versus an AJ3, I'd say the 4 is a bit more structured and less curvy in its design. Each model in the Jordan line has its own vibe, and the 4's is all about that rugged, athletic aesthetic. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me, with a good, secure lockdown around the midfoot from those plastic wings. The cushioning? It's firm. Don't expect Boost or ZoomX softness here. The Air Jordan 4 has that classic, supportive feel—it's comfortable for all-day wear, but it's not a "cloud" by any means. You feel stable, though. Now, potential cons? That firm cushioning I mentioned might not be for everyone, especially if you're used to plush sneakers. The ankle collar can rub a bit at first until it breaks in. And at around $210 USD, it's a premium price for a retro that doesn't have modern comfort tech.
