The quality feels on par with recent retro releases. Versus a more performance-focused Jordan model? This is purely for style. The UNC Basketball Air Jordan 4 release is a lifestyle sneaker through and through. Alright, so the UNC Basketball Air Jordan 4 release is finally here! Unboxing these, the first thing that hits you is that classic Carolina blue. It's vibrant, but not overly loud? The nubuck feels premium right out of the box, and the shape is on point. Honestly, for a retro, the initial quality seems solid. This is a clean, classic colorway that just works. Who is this for? Sneakerheads who love classic colorways, UNC Tar Heels fans obviously, and anyone building a collection of iconic Jordans. It's a statement piece that's also pretty wearable. If you've been waiting for this retro, you'll probably love it. On feet, the comfort is standard for a retro J. It's not ultra-plush, but it's supportive. The lockdown is good, though the toe box area can feel a bit roomy if you have narrow feet. For walking around, they're totally fine. They don't feel heavy at all. It's that familiar AJ4 feel, which I personally don't mind for casual wear. Just don't expect Boost-level softness, you know?
