The leather, while nice, can crease—that's just the nature of it. Also, if you need plush, modern basketball shoe comfort, this isn't it. The Jordan 4's tech is from the late '80s. And at $210, it's a commitment for a primarily lifestyle shoe. Final thoughts: The Air Jordan 4 'White Thunder' is a strong release. It's not groundbreaking, but it's done very well. It gets the essentials right: clean look, true-to-fit, and that classic AJ4 appeal. If you've been eyeing them, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just maybe keep some sneaker cleaner handy for that white upper! On feet, the ""White Thunder"" colorway looks even better. The contrast is sharp. In natural light, that yellow isn't too neon, it's just right. It's a loud accent without being overwhelming. This AJ4 has serious summer vibes. They photograph really well, too. Definitely a head-turner for any sneaker collection. Now, a potential con? The leather. On my pair, it's a bit stiff out of the box. It'll crease, like most retros do. If you're looking for buttery, soft tumbled leather, this isn't it. Also, the price – $210 USD is steep for some, considering the materials used. It's a standard retro price, but it's still a lot.
