First look? That yellow is "crazy" vibrant in hand. The nubuck feels solid, and the classic AJ4 silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For around $210 USD, this retro is a statement piece, no doubt. Major pros? The look is undeniable. The color blocking is perfect, and it's a straight-up classic. The quality on my pair is solid - no major glue stains or messy stitching. It's a durable shoe that will last in your rotation. For a retro, it gets the important details right, from the netting to the heel tab. Now, the potential downsides. That bright "Tour Yellow" nubuck? It's a stain and scuff magnet. You gotta be careful. Also, if you need plush, modern comfort, look elsewhere. The Air Jordan 4 Lightning is not that. The price, $210, is steep for the tech you get, but you're paying for the icon status. 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.
