The Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE is a celebration sneaker. Who should skip it? If you need all-day comfort, or if you dislike standing out. Also, if the premium PE price tag makes you sweat... maybe grab a core colorway instead. 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. Let's talk design details, because this "Houston Cougars" colorway is special. The nubuck feels premium, and I love how the "Cougar Red" pops against the white mesh. The PE-specific touches, like the university branding on the heel, make it feel unique. Compared to a standard retro colorway, this "Air Jordan 4" just has more "personality". It's a collector's dream, honestly. My final take? I "love" this shoe for what it is: a beautiful, well-made PE. The Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE is a fantastic addition to any collection focused on unique stories. But be honest with yourself—are you buying it for the hype, or do you truly appreciate the design? For me, it's a yes, but I totally get if the price is a dealbreaker.
