It's a summer shoe, for sure. On feet, that contrast with the black accents and grey midsole is "fire". It looks even better in natural light than in the box. This AJ4 just has a great on-foot presence. On camera and in person, this Air Jordan 4 Lightning colorway really pops. The contrast with the black mesh and grey accents is just "chef's kiss". It's a shoe that demands attention. Compared to a more subdued Jordan 4, like a "Military Blue," this is for making a statement. The design is timeless, and this color just brings it to life in a fun way. Let's get these on feet. Initial feel is classic AJ4: a bit stiff, needs break-in. The cushioning is firm, you're not getting React or Zoom Air comfort here, it's that 90s basketball feel. The lockdown is good though, the lacing system works. For a retro, the weight is standard, not too heavy, not too light. It's exactly what you'd expect from this silhouette. Who should maybe pass? If you need all-day, cloud-like comfort – look elsewhere. If you prefer minimalist, low-key styles, this yellow will be "too" much. Also, for $210, if you're on a tight budget and need a versatile daily driver, this probably isn't your most practical choice.
