This Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE color scheme is fire and pays perfect homage. Build quality is excellent – no glue stains or messy stitching on my pair. It's a durable shoe that will last. As a statement piece for a sneaker rotation or a UH fan, it's a 10/10. My final take? I love them. As a showpiece, they're fantastic. On foot, they turn heads. But you're buying the story and the exclusivity. For $400, you need to "really" want it. It's not an everyday sneaker, but for the right person, it's a grail. Would I cop? For my collection, yes. As a daily driver? No. Sliding these on... wow. The fit is true to size for me, with that classic AJ4 lockdown around the midfoot. The cushioning? It's firm, but in a good, supportive way—you're not getting Boost or React here. They're not heavy, but you feel stable. Walking around, the "Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4" feels like a proper retro basketball shoe, just like I remember. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, pillowy soft comfort above all else, look at other models. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist styles, the AJ4's bulk might not be your thing. And casual buyers on a tight budget might find the premium for this specific PE hard to justify. It's a niche, love-it-or-leave-it shoe.
