The Lightning color scheme is meant to be seen. In sunlight or under studio lights, that yellow really shines. The black midsole and detailing keep it wearable. It's a statement piece for sure. Compared to other Jordans, it's less bulky than a 5, but has more presence than a 1 or 3. Let's talk about the fit. Slipping these on, the Air Jordan 4 Lightning feels true to size for me. The lockdown is good, typical of the 4s. The cushioning? It's firm, not super plush like some modern shoes, but that's the classic feel. You get decent impact protection, but don't expect Boost-level softness. It's all about that retro court feel. Major pros? The history. This is a legit retro of a super sought-after colorway. The materials are good for a retro—the nubuck should age nicely. It's a conversation starter. Also, the Air Jordan 4 silhouette is just incredibly versatile in streetwear, even with a loud color like this yellow. It's a piece of sneaker history, back on your feet. 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.
