Traction on super dusty courts might be just "okay". Also, that nubuck can be a dirt magnet, especially the lighter purple parts. If you're rough on your kicks, maybe think twice. It's not a beater shoe; it's more for casual wear and showing off. On feet, the visual appeal is undeniable. The way the sunlight hits that "Tour Yellow" on the midsole and eyelets? "Fire". The mesh panels and those classic plastic wings add so much texture. This "lakers release" just works so well as a statement piece in a casual fit. They look great on camera and even better walking around. It's a colorway that was just meant to be on this silhouette. Alright, so the "Air Jordan 4 Lakers Release" is finally here! Unboxing this pair, the colorway immediately pops. The purple, gold, and black combo is just "chef's kiss" for any Lakers fan. The nubuck feels pretty decent, not super premium but solid for a $210 USD retro. My first impression? It's a loud, statement shoe straight out of the box. Now, a potential con? That nubuck upper. It's beautiful but can be a "nightmare" to keep clean, especially the lighter gold areas. Also, the stiffness I mentioned – it needs a real break-in period. If you want a "comfort-first" sneaker right out the box, this might not be it.
