It's much more versatile than the loud OG 'Thunder' because of the white base. Versus a Jordan 1? The 4 is definitely more of a statement piece with its unique paneling and heel tab. The $210 USD price is standard for Retros now. It's a solid entry in the Jordan series for sure. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ4 sits nicely between the bulkier AJ3 and the slimmer AJ1. The 'White Thunder' specifically feels more summer-ready and bright compared to a lot of the OG colorways. If you have a lot of neutral Jordans, this adds a fun pop without being overwhelming. Now, the potential downsides. That firm cushioning I mentioned is a big one for some people. If you're on your feet all day, consider that. Also, the white leather is a magnet for scuffs and dirt—it'll require maintenance. The fit can be a bit rigid initially around the pinky toe for some foot shapes. It's not a perfect shoe, and that's okay to say. Who are these for? Honestly, for the Jordan 4 collector who wants a pop of color. For someone who doesn't have a bright pair in their rotation. If your style is bold and you like standing out, the Air Jordan 4 Retro 'White Thunder' is perfect. Also great for summer fits. It's a sneaker that makes an outfit; you build around it. At $210, it's an investment in a statement piece.
