Like many AJ4s, it can feel a bit roomy in the toe box. If you have narrow feet, you "might" want to go down half a size or really lace them up. Also, that beautiful suede/nubuck on the Air Jordan 4 UNC PE? You gotta be ready to baby it a little from water and stains. It’s not a "beat-em-up" daily driver without some extra care. Now, potential cons... The "Air Jordan 4" isn't for everyone comfort-wise. If you need plush, modern cushioning, look elsewhere. They can feel stiff and heavy. Also, that beautiful nubuck? It's gonna show creases and can be a dirt magnet. So if you're super rough on your kicks or want a "set-it-and-forget-it" shoe, maybe think twice. Comparing it to other 4s, like the Military Black, the air jordan 4 unc pe feels a bit more special due to the color blocking. The materials seem on par, maybe a touch better. Versus a Jordan 1? It's a completely different animal—more bulky, more of a 90s basketball feel. If you love the 4's silhouette, this is one of the best colorways to drop recently in the Jordan series, hands down. So, who is this shoe for? Honestly, it's for the collector or the fan of classic Jordan series color stories. If you love the AJ4 silhouette and have been waiting for a clean, non-OG colorway that still feels special, the air jordan 4 unc pe is it. It's also great for UNC Tar Heels fans, obviously. It's a statement piece that's still wearable.
