.. it's gonna get dirty, and it might be tricky to clean. Also, if you need super-soft, cloud-like comfort, this isn't it. The ankle collar can rub some people the wrong way. And the color is "bold"—not for the faint of heart. Just keepin' it real. Who is this for? Honestly, for collectors and fans of bold, classic colorways. If you missed the 2006 or 2021 releases, this is your shot. It's also for sneakerheads who style their outfits around their kicks. The Air Jordan 4 Lightning is a piece of sneaker history that makes a serious style statement. Major pros? The history. This is a legit retro of a super sought-after colorway. The materials are good for a retro—the nubuck should age nicely. It's a conversation starter. Also, the Air Jordan 4 silhouette is just incredibly versatile in streetwear, even with a loud color like this yellow. It's a piece of sneaker history, back on your feet. Who should maybe pass? If you prefer low-key, versatile shoes, look at a different colorway. Also, if you're seeking ultra-modern comfort or a performance basketball shoe, this retro isn't built for that. It's a lifestyle sneaker first and foremost, with that classic, somewhat stiff feel.
