It looks incredible on foot, the quality is there, and it connects you to sneaker culture. It's not a perfect, modern shoe, but it's a near-perfect icon. Would I recommend it? For most collectors and style-focused folks, absolutely yes. Just maybe try them on first if you can. Let's talk looks on-camera / in person. 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 it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 4" sits right between the AJ3 and AJ5 for me. It's got more structure than the 3, but it's not as tech-heavy or angular as the 5. If you like a shoe with presence and a defined heel, this is your jam. The "Nike Air Jordan 4" really holds its own in the lineage. Potential cons? The materials could be better for the price—some might find the leather a bit stiff. Also, that firm cushioning I mentioned might not be for everyone, especially if you're used to super plush sneakers. And the toe box creases... it's gonna happen. It's part of the charm, but some people hate that.
