The back of the collar can rub if you're not wearing taller socks—classic AJ4 break-in. Also, the price... $210 is steep for tech that hasn't really changed since '89. You're paying for the heritage and the color, not for groundbreaking comfort. Big pro for me? The color blocking is simply iconic. It's a perfect representation of a "PE" or Player Exclusive style - clean, team-associated, and versatile. The durability of the Jordan 4 design is also a plus; these can take a bit more of a beating than some thinner sneakers. Now, the cons—and be real, every shoe has 'em. The main one is comfort. If you're used to React or Boost, the Air Jordan 4 will feel stiff and heavy. Break-in time is needed. Also, that suede/nubuck? It can be a pain to keep clean, especially in a light color like this Carolina blue. It's not an "everyday beater" kind of sneaker for most people. My final take? I'm really happy with this pickup. The "Air Jordan 4 UNC PE" delivers on its promise: a clean, classic, and recognizable sneaker. It fills a specific spot in a collection. Would I recommend it as your first or only Jordan? Probably not—start with something more versatile like a 1 or 3. But as a special addition for a fan? Absolutely a great grab.
