Howard University Are Flying ‘First Class’ With This Air Jordan 4 PE

There’s been a scintillating sequence of Jordan Brand PEs of late, with none more jaw-dropping than the Tar Heels-inspired Air Jordan 4 ‘UNC’ that made waves last week. Now, the spotlight shifts to another standout model: the Air Jordan 4 ‘First Class’ PE, designed exclusively for Howard University. This premium design is undoubtedly a first-class ticket in the world of sneaker exclusives.

Very similar in construction to the luxurious Air Jordan 4 ‘First Class’ WNBA PE from 2023, the Howard University edition is rendered in premium dark navy suede uppers, while golden Howard Bison hangtags, HU lace dubraes and Jumpman logos on the tongues and heels add plenty of royal swagger. Over on the inside of the tongues, a crimson tag reads, ‘HU YOU KNOW’, a well-known chant associated with Howard University.

Officially joining Jordan Brand’s roster in 2022, the Bisons have since received an impressive lineup of exclusive PEs, including luxurious renditions of the Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 1. These designs reflect Howard’s athletic prestige and cultural significance as one of the most prominent historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Unfortunately, unless you’re putting up buckets for Howard University, it’s going to be a very tough cop indeed.
