First off, the color-blocking is just "clean". The white, grey, and that iconic blue hit? It's a classic for a reason. The suede feels decent, not super plush, but the overall shape & build quality out of the box looks solid. A great start for this retro. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, you might want to look at newer tech models. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $210 is a significant chunk for a retro shoe with firm cushioning. And if you already have multiple Jordan 4s, this colorway, while iconic, might not feel essential. Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 4"... initial thoughts? The fit is true to size for me. The lockdown around the midfoot from those plastic wings is "immediate" and really secure. It's not a super plush, modern feel—you definitely feel the firmness of the midsole. But hey, that's part of the classic Jordan DNA, right? 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.
