The breathability isn't great; your feet will get warm. Also, that firm midsole cushioning I mentioned—if you want plush, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable on these. It's part of the charm for some, a deal-breaker for others. Comparing these to, say, a Jordan 1? The Air Jordan 4 is a bulkier, more structured shoe. It offers way more ankle support and has that distinctive techy look. Compared to other Jordan 4s, the 'Military Blue' is up there with the 'Breds' and 'Cements' for me - it's one of the essential original colorways. On feet, the 'Military Blue' colorway looks even better. The contrast with the black accents and grey mesh is just "so" good in natural light. It's a shoe that works with almost anything—jeans, shorts, you name it. The design is busy in a good way, with all those panels and the plastic wing eyelets. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 has a firm, supportive feel, not super plush like some modern shoes. The lockdown is good, especially with the wing eyelets. It's a comfortable shoe for all-day wear, but don't expect crazy cushioning. It's more about that stable, classic basketball feel.
