First impression out of the box? That yellow is "crazy" vibrant in person. The build quality feels solid, classic AJ4 silhouette. For $210 USD, you're getting a piece of Jordan history, a retro from '06. The nubuck feels pretty good, not super buttery, but decent. 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. My final take? I love them. They live up to the hype for me. The pros of owning such an iconic design far outweigh the cons of the dated comfort tech. Would I recommend them? Absolutely, if the style speaks to you. The "Air Jordan 4 Lightning" is a legend for a reason. Let's talk on-feet. The Air Jordan 4 Lightning feels like a classic AJ4: comfortable but not plush. The ankle collar gives good support, and the fit is true to size for me. It's not a super light shoe, you feel that structure. The main event is obviously that bright yellow - it's a statement piece for sure, not for blending in.
