It's for style-focused wearers who love bold colorways and don't mind the firmer feel. It's a perfect summer rotation shoe or a piece for a sneaker collection that needs a pop of color. If you grew up loving this colorway, it's a no-brainer. So I put these Air Jordan 4 Lightning sneakers on... and yeah, it's the classic AJ4 feel. The cushioning is firm but comfortable for all-day wear. The lockdown is good, no heel slippage for me. They're not the lightest shoe, you feel that structure, but it's part of the iconic silhouette. A true retro basketball feel. Putting them on... the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 4 Lightning has that familiar, slightly stiff feel around the ankle at first. It's not the most comfortable Jordan out of the box, honestly. But the lockdown is good. You definitely feel supported, just don't expect Boost-level softness, obviously. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 4 'Lightning'! First off, the box is classic, but the moment you open it? That yellow just "pops". The quality feels solid right away—the nubuck is nice, and the silhouette is instantly recognizable. It's a strong first impression for sure, a real statement piece from the Jordan series.
