First impression? The colorway is "crazy" vibrant in person. That deep red and white combo, with the grey hits... it's clean but loud, you know? The materials feel premium, typical of a "Jordan 4". The build quality on my pair is solid—no glue stains or anything wild. For a PE, it's impressive. Who should avoid them? If you're new to Jordans and want comfort, look at the 13s or something else. If you're on a tight budget, this isn't it. And if you plan to beat them up daily—please, don't. This Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE deserves a bit of care, you know? Who are these for? Definitely Houston Cougars fans or alumni – it's a must-have. Also, for Jordan 4 collectors who appreciate PE (Player Exclusive) stories and unique colorways. If you love sneakers that tell a story beyond just the silhouette, this Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE is in your lane. Comparing it to other 4s in my collection – like my Military Blues – the "Houston Cougars AJ4 PE" stands out for its bold, almost "varsity" aesthetic. The color blocking is simpler but more striking. The quality of the nubuck here feels a step above some recent retro releases, which is a huge plus. If you're a fan of clean, red-based sneakers, this is a top-tier option in the Jordan 4 lineup right now.
