If you prioritize plush comfort above all, the Air Jordan 4 UNC PE isn't for you. The outsole is flat and the cushioning is dated. Also, that bright blue can be hard to style daily – it's a loud shoe. The toe box creasing is pretty inevitable with this leather. And at $210, some might argue it's pricey for the tech you get. It's a style-over-substance purchase in many ways. So, is it worth it? For "me", yes. As a fan of the "air jordan 4" and this color, I'm keeping my pair. The look, the quality, the "cool factor" outweigh the comfort limitations for my casual use. But I'm buying it for the style, not for performance or all-day comfort. Let's talk pros. The main advantage here is obviously the look. This is a heritage silhouette in a fantastic, sought-after color story. The materials feel great, and the construction on my pair is on point. It's a shoe that screams "collection piece" for any Jordan Brand fan. Alright, so I just got the "Air Jordan 4 UNC PE" in hand, and wow—the color is even better in person. That Carolina blue is so clean and vibrant against the white and black accents. The build quality on this pair feels solid right out of the box. It's a classic "Jordan" silhouette, and this "UNC" colorway just hits different. For around $210 USD, the first impression is strong.
