It's not trying to be the most comfortable shoe ever; it's about celebrating heritage. For me, it's a win. The pros of unique design and great materials outweigh the cons of price and upkeep. Just know what you're getting into. Hope this honest review helps you decide! Let's talk looks on camera. This colorway "pops". The "HU" on the heel tab and the university details are subtle but fire. In natural light, the different textures—suede, mesh, plastic wings—really stand out. It's one of those shoes that looks even better on foot than in the box. A super clean, collegiate-style AJ4. Now, the potential cons. That beautiful suede? It's a magnet for dirt and water. You gotta baby these. Also, at $225, it's a steep price for a model not known for modern comfort. If you need plush cushioning, look elsewhere. This is for collectors and style-first wearers. Alright, let's get into these. First look out of the box? The Air Jordan 4 Howard University PE is stunning. The quality feels premium, and that Bison Blue colorway just pops. The suede is super soft, and the HU branding on the heel is a clean, subtle detail. You can tell it's a special release right away.
