The mesh panels and those plastic wing eyelets are just iconic. On camera, this 'Military Blue' colorway really pops against simple fits. It's a versatile sneaker that works with a lot of styles. As a Jordan release, it's a must-have for collectors of the series. 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. On foot now, and the initial comfort is... okay. It's a retro, so don't expect Boost or ZoomX. The Air unit in the heel is there, but it's firm. The lockdown from the wings and laces is actually really good—my foot feels secure. For a Jordan 4, it's not too heavy. It's a comfortable shoe for casual wear, but I wouldn't run in it, obviously. The break-in period is real with these. Major pros? Durability and style. The materials on this Air Jordan 4 are built to last. The design is iconic and goes with almost anything. It's a shoe you can wear for years and it still looks relevant. That's the power of a great Jordan retro.
