First off, the box is special, and the shoe inside? The colorway is "incredible". That deep burgundy, the cream midsole, and that iconic HU logo on the heel—it's a clean, collegiate tribute. For a PE, the materials feel premium right out of the box. This is a "serious" pickup for any Jordan collector. Alright, so I finally got my hands on the Air Jordan 4 Howard University PE. First impression? The quality is insane. The materials, especially that soft nubuck, feel premium right out of the box. The "Bison" colorway with the cream midsole is just so clean and unique. It's a special release for sure. So, who is this for? If you love the AJ4 silhouette and appreciate collabs with deep meaning, this Howard University PE is a must. It's for collectors, HBCU supporters, or anyone wanting a premium, understated-yet-significant Jordan in their rotation. The story adds major value. Now, a potential con for some: the price. At around $400 USD on the aftermarket, it's a significant investment. Also, the suede can be a bit high-maintenance if you're planning to wear them often in bad weather. They're more of a special occasion or fair-weather flex for most people.
