The yellow against the black and grey really makes a statement. It's a loud shoe, no doubt. In natural light, the "Air Jordan 4 Lightning" just "pops". The design is so clean, and it works with a lot of casual fits. This is a shoe that gets noticed, for sure. The camera loves this color blocking. Comparing it to other 4s, like a 'Military Blue', the 'Lightning' is way more bold and in-your-face. The materials feel premium, similar to other recent retros. If you love loud colorways, this one sits at the top. It's not a subtle, everyday grey shoe – it's meant to be seen. In summary: The Air Jordan 4 "Lightning" is a legend. It looks incredible on foot, the quality is good, and it's a fun shoe to wear. Just know the comfort is vintage and the color is high-maintenance. For $210 USD, it's a purchase for fans and collectors. For everyone else, maybe try it on first! That's my real, honest opinion. Honestly, I was curious how the "Lightning" yellow would look in real life. It's bright, but not neon - it's got a rich, Tour Yellow hue. The build on my pair is good. Stepping into them, you get that classic AJ4 feel: supportive, structured, a bit stiff at first. They break in nicely though.
