At around "$400-500 USD" on the aftermarket, it's a big investment. Also, the tech is 30+ years old. Don't expect React or Zoom Air comfort – it's firm. If you need pillowy-soft sneakers, this "Air Jordan 4" isn't it. The suede/nubuck can also be a hassle to keep clean in bad weather. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I slipped these on, and the fit is true to size. The "Air Jordan 4" cushioning is what it is—firm but supportive. It's not super plush like a modern runner, but for casual wear and maybe some light ball, it's fine. The lockdown is good, especially around the midfoot. They're a bit on the heavier side, but that's just the "4's" classic silhouette. In summary: The Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE is a win for what it is—a beautiful, exclusive sneaker. You get amazing looks and solid Jordan 4 construction. Just know you're paying for rarity and fandom. If that speaks to you, you won't be disappointed. If not, there are other great Jordans out there for less. That's my honest review Who should maybe pass? If you're new to Jordans and want an everyday, comfy shoe – start with a GR. If you prefer understated style, this ain't it. And obviously, if the resale price gives you pause, it's understandable. There are other great 4s at retail. This is for a specific enthusiast who values the story and exclusivity.
