Also, if you prefer brighter, more versatile colorways, the deep tones here might not be for you. It's a very specific look. Let's talk looks. Wearing these, the blue really stands out. The nubuck has a nice texture that catches the light. It's a loud shoe, for sure, but in a good way. Compared to a more common colorway like the 'Military Black,' this Howard University PE is a statement piece. You will get compliments. Comparing it to other Jordan 4s, this Howard PE feels more special than a general release. It has that "college exclusive" vibe without being overly themed. The color blocking is smarter than, say, a Military Blue, and the materials feel a step above some recent retro releases. It sits nicely between a classic colorway and something totally unique. Who should maybe pass? If you need maximum comfort for all-day wear, look elsewhere. If you live in a rainy or messy area and don't want to baby your shoes, the suede will stress you out. Also, if you're new to Jordans and want a more iconic, versatile first pair, maybe start with a Bred or Cement colorway.
