They live up to the hype for me. The look, the fit, the history—it all works. Are they the most comfortable shoe ever? No. But for a lifestyle sneaker with that iconic Jordan series DNA, they're excellent. I'd definitely recommend picking them up if you love the model. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize ultra-soft, cloud-like comfort above all else, you might find the Air Jordan 4's ride a bit too firm. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the chunkier profile of the 4 might not be your style. It's a distinct look and feel. Now, a potential con: the toe box creasing. It's just part of the deal with this model - the soft leather/nubuck will crease. Also, the ventilation isn't amazing; your feet might get warm. And at ~$210 USD, it's an investment. If you want a super breathable, ultra-light daily runner, this isn't it. On feet, the 'Military Blue' colorway just pops. It's not overly loud, but it has great contrast. The mesh panels and plastic wings look sharp in person and on camera. This is one of those Air Jordan 4 designs that works with almost any casual fit. A real versatile pickup.
