The toebox can feel a bit stiff and boxy for some people. If you're used to super flexible, breathable modern sneakers, this might not be for you. Also, at around "$210 USD", it's a standard retro price, but still an investment. Comparing it to other 4s, like the Military Blues or the Breds, the "White Thunder" holds its own. It's less loud than some, but that's its strength. Versus a Jordan 1? The 4 offers more of that bulky, protective feel. It's a different vibe entirely – more '90s basketball, less court-to-street casual. Now, a potential con? That all-white upper is a magnet for dirt and scuffs. If you're someone who hates cleaning your sneakers constantly, be warned. Also, as I mentioned, the comfort tech is dated. Don't expect Boost or Zoom Air levels of cushioning here. It's a style-first, comfort-second kind of shoe, which is fine, but know what you're getting. Let's talk looks on foot. The 'White Thunder' colorway is incredibly versatile. That shot of yellow on the eyelets and heel tab is the perfect accent. They go with almost anything—jeans, shorts, joggers. In natural light, the different shades of white and grey have a nice depth. These are gonna look great in photos and videos.
