The execution of this colorway is nearly flawless. It's a beautiful, well-made shoe that honors the PE tradition. While the comfort is standard AJ4, the looks and quality elevate it. For me, it's a worthy pickup. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The lockdown is solid, thanks to those classic lace wings. Cushioning? It's a Jordan 4 – you get that familiar, firm-but-responsive feel. It's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The weight is manageable, not too heavy. A great silhouette for casual wear. Comparing it to other Jordans... it's a classic AJ4 through and through. Versus a Jordan 1? Way more structured and bulky. Compared to a newer model like a Jordan 38? The tech is obviously dated. But that's the charm. The "2025 Michigan PE" is about heritage and style, not performance innovation. It sits nicely in the collection for that reason. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize all-day comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer low-key, versatile sneakers, this loud colorway isn't it. And for ballers seeking modern performance? This isn't the tool for that job. It's a lifestyle piece, first and foremost.
