They're snug in the toe box for me—I went TTS—but they'll break in. The cushioning is that familiar, firm Air setup; don't expect Boost-like softness. The Houston Cougars branding on the tongue and heel is a "really" nice touch for collectors. They feel substantial, not overly heavy, but you know you're wearing a Jordan. Alright, let's get into these Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE's. First off, the box is clean, but the shoes? Man, the colorway pops. That deep red, the white midsole, and that subtle grey... it's a premium look. For a PE, the materials feel solid right out of the gate. This "Houston Cougars" version just has a special aura, you know? Definitely a statement piece for any collection. On feet, the colorway really comes alive. The "Varsity Red" against the white midsole and grey accents is just "chef's kiss". It's a loud, proud PE colorway that demands attention. I love how the mesh and leather panels play together. This Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE is gonna look insane on camera and in person. It's a statement piece, no doubt about it. Final verdict? For me, the "Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE" is a win. The execution is fantastic, the materials impress, and it fills a specific "bold red iconic silhouette" niche in any collection. It's a confident wear. Worth the price? If you love the colorway and the story, absolutely. If you're indifferent to red or PEs, maybe wait for a sale. But I'm really happy with this pickup
