Great materials, iconic look, but with that classic, firm ride. It's a sneaker you buy for the heart and the eyes, not just the feet. Would I cop again? For this colorway, yes—it's a piece of sneaker history. Just manage your comfort expectations! Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 has a decent comfort level. It's not super plush like some modern shoes, but the Air unit in the heel does its job. The lockdown is pretty good once you lace them up. For a retro basketball shoe, the feel is what I anticipated—supportive but not exactly a cloud. On feet, the 'Military Blue' Jordan 4s really pop. The color blocking is so clean and versatile. They look great on camera and in person. That mesh panel and the grey accents balance everything out. This is one of those sneakers that just works with so many fits. It's a timeless look from the Jordan series, no doubt. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, maybe look at newer models. The price, $210, is steep for some for a retro. If you're not into maintenance, the light-colored nubuck might stress you out. It's a lifestyle piece first.
