For $400, you can get multiple fantastic pairs. If you need all-day, cloud-like comfort, this isn't it. And if you're rough on your shoes? That suede will break your heart. This is a "special occasion" kind of sneaker, not a daily beater. Who should maybe pass? If you need ultra-comfortable all-day shoes, look at newer models. If you dislike maintaining suede/nubuck, avoid these. And if you prefer subtle, low-key sneakers, the Air Jordan 4 Howard University PE is definitely not that. It demands attention. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The leather-lined interior feels plush, and the lockdown is solid. Comfort-wise, it's a standard AJ4 – you get that firm, supportive ride, not super plush like some modern sneakers. But for an iconic silhouette like this, the feel is exactly what I expected. It's all about the style here. Comparing it to other 4s, the materials on this "howard university pe" feel a step above some of the recent general releases. The colorway is also way more unique than your standard "Black Cement" or "Military Blue." It sits in its own lane. If you have a lot of OG colorways, this adds something totally different to the collection.
