The colorway is even better live. The burgundy isn't too red, not too purple – it's just right. In different lighting, those cream panels really pop. The "Howard" on the heel strap is a subtle but powerful detail. This "Air Jordan 4 Howard University PE" doesn't scream for attention; it commands it. Very classy execution. Comparing these to other Jordan 4s, like a classic "Bred" or "White Cement," the vibe is totally different. Those are iconic, in-your-face basketball heritage. These Howard PEs feel more like a "collector's piece" or a fashion statement. They're quieter, more refined. If you love the AJ4 shape but want something less common, this is a fantastic option. The storytelling through the colors is a huge plus. My final take? I love it. As a display piece and for occasional wears, it's amazing. The craftsmanship on the Air Jordan 4 Howard University PE justifies the price for me "personally". But be honest with your needs. It's an investment in culture, not just a shoe. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I laced these up, and the fit is true to size for me. The leather-lined interior feels great, and the support from the wings is classic AJ4. Comfort-wise, it's a Jordan 4—you know what you're getting. It's not super plush like a modern runner, but it's comfortable for casual wear. The $225 USD price tag feels justified for this special edition.
