As a fan of the series, the "Air Jordan 4 Lightning" is a win. It's a faithful retro that looks incredible. Is it worth the $210? For me, yes—for the history and the style. But go in knowing its comfort limitations. It's a showpiece. Now, the cons. That bright 'Lightning' yellow isn't for everyone. It's "loud". Also, the Jordan 4 isn't the most comfortable shoe ever, let's be honest. It can feel stiff and bulky. At $210, you're paying for the hype and colorway, not groundbreaking tech. Think about that. Let's talk on-feet. The comfort is standard for a Jordan 4—decent cushioning, but you're not getting Boost-level softness, you know? The lockdown is good, though the toe box area can feel a bit roomy for some. Wearing them, you definitely feel the weight—they're substantial sneakers. But man, that 'Lightning' colorway just pops in person, way more than in pics. Now, a potential con: that bright Tour Yellow nubuck. It's gonna get dirty, and it might be tricky to clean. Also, the Air Jordan 4 Lightning's color is "very" bold. It's not for someone who prefers neutral, wearable sneakers. You gotta be confident to rock these. The price point, around $210 USD, is standard for Jordan Retros these days.
