The materials are durable, the construction is on point, and the color is just iconic. It's a sneaker that turns heads. However, a potential downside is the creasing on the toe box—it's gonna happen with this leather. Also, if you prefer ultra-comfortable all-day sneakers, this might not be your first choice. So, who is this shoe for? If you're a Jordan collector, especially of the 4s, the Air Jordan 4 Lightning is a must. 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. Major pro? The color is just iconic. It's a true throwback. The materials feel premium for a retro release. It's a piece of sneaker history you can wear. For a $210 USD price tag, you're getting a well-made, recognizable silhouette. Alright, let's get these on. The fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's a retro, so don't expect ZoomX clouds. It's firm but comfortable for all-day wear. The lockdown is good, though the plastic wings dig in a bit at first. The "Air Jordan 4"'s weight feels substantial, not super light.
