The Air Jordan 4 Lightning is a grail for many, and having it back is special. It's not the most comfortable shoe in my closet, but the style and heritage are worth it for me. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you understand what you're buying: a piece of sneaker culture with a killer look. Alright, so the Air Jordan 4 Lightning is finally here, and the box is just classic. Pulling these out? Man, that Tour Yellow hits "so" hard in person. The nubuck feels decent, and the classic AJ4 silhouette is just "chef's kiss". First impression? It's a loud, statement shoe for sure, and I'm here for it. Who should avoid it? If you prioritize comfort above all, look elsewhere. Daily beaters? Maybe not, due to the color and materials. If you prefer low-key, versatile sneakers, this loud 'Lightning' yellow isn't for you. It's a specific vibe. Let's talk about this 'Lightning' colorway. In natural light, that Tour Yellow pops "so" hard against the black and grey. It's a loud, statement shoe—perfect for summer fits. Compared to my other Jordan 4s, the materials here feel premium. It's a fantastic retro of a 2006 classic, no doubt.
