It's cleaner than some of the busier recent releases. Versus a Jordan 1 or 3, the 4 is bulkier and has a distinct, chunkier silhouette. If you like that 90s basketball aesthetic, this one delivers in a fresh color. Now, for the cons – and this is just my honest take. The toe box creasing... it's gonna happen, especially with this white leather. If you're super picky about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bug you. Also, while comfortable, they're not "all-day walk around the city" comfortable like some newer tech-focused sneakers. The ankle collar can be stiff initially. It's a style-first shoe, not a comfort-first one. Now, a potential con for some people: that bright yellow. If you’re someone who prefers super subtle, all-earth-tone sneakers, the thunder yellow might be a bit much for you. Also, the leather, while nice, isn’t super premium or buttery. It’s a good, durable build, but don’t expect luxury-level softness on this specific colorway. My final take? I really like the Air Jordan 4 'White Thunder'. It executes a simple, effective color scheme perfectly on a legendary model. It's not the most exciting release, but it's a damn good one. For a wearable, classic AJ4, it definitely hits the mark. Worth copping if you dig the palette.
