It's a heritage silhouette that never goes out of fashion. The build quality on this particular retro is pretty consistent. Also, for around $210 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that's highly wearable. A solid investment for your rotation. My final take? I like this Nike Air Jordan 4 'Military Blue'. It's a faithful retro of a legendary colorway. For me, the pros—the timeless look, the secure fit, the heritage—outweigh the cons of the basic comfort. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with those caveats. Try a pair on if you can to feel the fit for yourself. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 4 sits lower than a Jordan 1 and has more tech than a Jordan 3. The support is better for me than a Jordan 5. It's a great middle-ground model in the Jordan series. Each has its vibe, but the 4 is iconic. My final take? I like them. The "Nike Air Jordan 4" 'Military Blue' is a clean, classic release. It's not the most innovative shoe in 2024, but it doesn't need to be. It's about the style and the legacy. For the price, you're getting a well-made icon. I'm keeping these in my rotation for sure.
