Houston cougars air jordan 4 pe : Who should maybe pass? If you're new to Jordans and want an everyday, comfy shoe – start with a GR [537io1kq]

If you prefer understated style, this ain't it. And obviously, if the resale price gives you pause, it's understandable. There are other great 4s at retail. This is for a specific enthusiast who values the story and exclusivity. Major pro? The exclusivity factor is huge. Owning a PE colorway, especially one this clean, is a big deal for collectors. The color blocking is perfect - classic Jordan, but with a bold, collegiate twist. The materials feel premium for a retro. At around $210 USD, it's standard Jordan Brand pricing for a release of this caliber. Let's talk design details, because that's where this shoe shines. The "Cougars" script on the heel, the university red hits... it's a cohesive theme. Compared to a standard retro 4, this PE has way more personality. The nubuck feels great. My only gripe? That classic AJ4 plastic wing mesh can be a bit stiff at first. It's a looker, for sure. Who should maybe pass? If you need a performance basketball shoe, this isn't it. If you're on a tight budget and just want "a" Jordan 4, a more accessible retro might be better. Also, if you prefer super-soft, pillowy comfort in your daily wear, the firm ride of the 4 might not be your favorite.
