First off, the box is clean, but the shoes? Man, the color-blocking is "immediate". That deep red & white combo is just... sharp. The quality feels premium right out of the gate. This is a special PE, for sure, and you can tell. A really strong first impression from this Jordan 4. 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. Who is this for? Die-hard Houston Cougars fans, first. Then, AJ4 enthusiasts who want a unique red colorway in their collection. It's for the person who values storytelling in a sneaker. Who is it "not" for? Anyone on a tight budget, or someone seeking ultimate comfort. It's a display piece that you can wear. Who should maybe pass? If you're new to sneakers and want your first comfy, daily wear Jordan, maybe start with a GR Jordan 1 or a newer model. The cost and specific team theme might not be for everyone. Also, if you have very wide feet, the AJ4 can be narrow. This "PE" is a niche, premium product, not an everyday beater for most.
