The cushioning is firm, not super plush by today's standards, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The lockdown is good, though the plastic wings can feel a bit restrictive if you have a wider foot. The weight is noticeable, but it's part of that iconic Jordan 4 silhouette. To wrap it up: If you've wanted this colorway for years, cop them. The execution is solid. For $210 USD, you're getting a piece of Jordan Brand history. Just manage your comfort expectations. For me, pulling these out of the box and finally lacing up the Air Jordan 4 Lightning was worth it. They look fire on foot, and that's what matters most to me. So, who is this for? Sneakerheads who missed the 2006 or 2021 release. Fans of bold, statement colorways. People who appreciate the AJ4's place in "Jordan" history. If you want a head-turning summer sneaker, this is it. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, look at newer models. Also, if you prefer subtle, low-key shoes, the Air Jordan 4 'Lightning' is definitely not that. It's loud and proud, which isn't for everyone's personal style.
