It's for sneakerheads who love bold, statement colorways and don't mind a bit of maintenance. It's also great for anyone who missed out on the 2006 pair and wants a piece of that history. Comparing it to other Jordans? The 4 sits higher on the ankle than a 1 or a 3. Cushioning is better than a 1, but not as plush as a newer model like an 11 or 13. Within the Jordan 4 family, this 'Lightning' colorway is one of the most recognizable, right up there with the 'Breds' and 'Military Blues'. It's a must-have for any 4 collector. Comparing it to other Jordan 4s, the Lightning colorway stands out more than your typical military blues or breds. The materials feel consistent with recent retros. The main advantage? Unmatched summer vibes and head-turning style. The downside? That light-colored nubuck upper could be a nightmare to keep clean, just being real. So, should you cop? If you've always wanted this colorway and have the budget, go for it. The $210 USD price is standard for a retro Jordan. But if you're on the fence about such a bright color, maybe wait. For me, it's a yes. The 'Lightning' strikes just right.
