First thing I noticed? The box is clean, and the shoe itself... wow. That white leather upper is super crisp, and the thunder yellow accents just pop. For a $210 USD shoe, the initial quality feels solid. The shape of this Jordan 4 is on point right out of the box. Really strong first impression here, guys. Comparing it to other Jordans? It's less bulky than a Jordan 1 and has more of a structured feel. Within the Jordan 4 line, it's cleaner than a 'Bred' but has more character than an all-white pair. It sits nicely in the middle—a great option if you want a classic silhouette in a fresh, summer-ready palette. Comparing it to other "Jordan" models? It's lighter on foot than an AJ1, for sure. The comfort level is different from, say, a Jordan 13 or something more modern. The AJ4 sits in that sweet spot between retro style and decent wearability. This specific colorway is less common than some of the OG ones, which I like. Now, a potential con. That white leather upper? It's going to crease, and it might be a magnet for dirt and scuffs over time. If you're someone who likes to keep your kicks pristine, be prepared for some maintenance. The materials aren't premium luxury, but they're standard for the price point.
