In hand, the UNC Air Jordan 4 is beautiful. On foot? Even better. That blue against the grey midsole and black accents is "perfection". It photographs incredibly well. Compared to my other 4s, this one feels more "complete" as a color story. It's instantly iconic, in my opinion. Now, a potential con? The Air Jordan 4's comfort tech is "30 years old." Some folks might find the ride too stiff, especially in the forefoot. It's not a performance shoe. Also, that beautiful nubuck can be a magnet for dirt and scuffs. If you're rough on your kicks, maybe think twice about daily beating these up. Here's the thing with the Air Jordan 4 UNC: the materials are good, but not exceptional. The leather is smooth, not tumbled. The advantage? That classic look is perfectly executed. The downside for some? It might feel a bit stiff initially. If you love the Jordan 4 shape and this iconic college color, you'll be happy. It's a statement piece. So, who is this for? Definitely sneakerheads who appreciate iconic college colorways. It's for the Jordan collector needing a pop of color. Also great for anyone who just loves the AJ4 silhouette and wants a fresh, summer-ready option. If you have a mostly neutral rotation, this UNC Basketball Air Jordan 4 release is a perfect centerpiece.
