It can be tough to style. Also, the ankle collar can rub some people the wrong way. And again, the cushioning is stiff if you're used to modern sneakers. It's a specific vibe. Big pro for me? The versatility of this colorway is underrated. You can rock these with neutral tones—black, grey, white—and let the shoes do all the talking. They become the centerpiece of the fit. Also, as a retro, the quality seems consistent, no major glue stains or flaws on my pair. It's a well-executed classic. On foot, this colorway really pops. The contrast between the black netting, grey accents, and that vibrant "Lightning" yellow is just fire for the summer. It looks even better in natural light. This Jordan 4 is a statement piece for sure. The design is clean, and it stays true to the 2006 original, which fans will love. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 4 Lightning" has that familiar, slightly stiff feel around the collar at first, which is totally normal for this model. The cushioning isn't super plush—it's more about stability than bounce. If you're new to "Jordan 4s", don't expect Ultra Boost comfort. It's a different kind of feel, more retro and supportive.
