The leather quality feels comparable to other recent Retro releases. It's not as buttery as some OG molds, but it's definitely good. Price-wise, it's at the standard $210 USD retro price point. For that, you're getting a iconic silhouette in a unique, non-OG color that still feels very Jordan. Comparing it to other Js? As a Jordan 4, it's consistent. Similar fit & feel to my other Retros. Versus a Jordan 1? Way more foot-hugging and structured. Versus a Jordan 11? Nowhere near as plush. It occupies that perfect middle ground—supportive, iconic, and style-first. If you love the AJ4 model, this version delivers exactly what you expect. So, is it worth it? For me, "yes". It's a great addition to the Jordan 4 lineup. Just go in knowing it's a retro – comfort is okay, not amazing – and that white upper needs love. But if you like the style? You'll be happy. Thumbs up from me. On feet, the look is even better. The white leather cleans up nicely, and that hit of thunder yellow is just "chef's kiss". It's a summer-ready vibe but works with so much. The design is busy in a good way—the mesh, the plastic wings, the heel tab—it all comes together. Compared to my other 4s, this "'White Thunder'" colorway is definitely one of the more eye-catching ones in my collection.
