.. the 4 is always bulkier than a 1 or a 3. The 'Lightning' specifically? It's louder than my 'Fire Red' 4s, that's for sure. Comfort-wise, they're all in the same retro ballpark—good for style, not for running a marathon. But the color story here is what you're really buying into. Who is this for? Sneakerheads who love bold colorways. Fans of the 2006 original. People looking for a standout piece in their rotation. If you appreciate AJ4 history and want a shoe that sparks conversation, this is it. Who should maybe pass? If you prefer low-key, versatile shoes, look at a different colorway. Also, if you're seeking ultra-modern comfort or a performance basketball shoe, this retro isn't built for that. It's a lifestyle sneaker first and foremost, with that classic, somewhat stiff feel. Who is this for? Honestly, it's for the Jordan collector, the summer style enthusiast, or anyone who missed out in 2006. If you love bold sneakers that make an outfit, the Air Jordan 4 Lightning is a perfect fit. The $210 price tag is worth it for the history and the look, in my honest opinion.
