Also, if you prefer low-profile sneakers, the bulk of the AJ4 might not be for you. It's a statement piece. Major pros for this pair? The colorway is incredibly wearable. White, black, and a pop of yellow? Goes with almost anything. The materials feel durable, and the construction on my pair is clean. It's a timeless silhouette that never really goes out of style. For a retail price around $210 USD, you're getting a piece of Jordan history with a fresh twist. It's a straightforward, no-regrets kind of sneaker for a collection. Now, potential cons... That bright white nubuck? It's gonna be a magnet for dirt and denim transfer. You'll need to be careful. Also, the stiffness some people feel in the forefoot of 4s is present here. If you want a super flexible, modern sneaker feel, this isn't it. The 'White Thunder' is a style piece. And the yellow might be "too" much for some wardrobes. It's not a subtle shoe. Comparing these to other 4s, like my 'Military Blues', the 'White Thunder' has a much louder, summer-ready vibe. The shape is consistent with recent retros. Versus a Jordan 1? It's a totally different feel – more structured, bulkier, but with that iconic look. It's a classic Jordan series model for a reason.
