The "Air Jordan 4" is never the most plush shoe, and this "White Thunder" version is no different. You get decent cushioning, but it's more about stability than cloud-like comfort. The lockdown is good, though. The padded tongue and collar do their job well. Who might want to pass? If you strictly wear dark or neutral tones, that yellow might not integrate into your rotation. Also, if you're new to Jordans and prioritize ultra-soft step-in comfort above all else, maybe try a Jordan 1 or something with Zoom first. The 4's charm is in its look and heritage, not its cloud-like feel. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you're super rough on your shoes and the thought of maintaining white nubuck stresses you out, this might not be your best choice. It's a lifestyle sneaker first, performance second. My final take? I really like this shoe. The Air Jordan 4 'White Thunder' delivers on aesthetics. It's a solid, well-executed colorway on a beloved model. For $210, I think it's worth it if you love the design. It's not revolutionizing comfort, but it's a stylish, wearable classic.
