The recent surfacing of the Air Jordan 4 “Howard Bisons” PE for Howard University, following the precedent set by the UNC Tar Heels, presents a curious case. While undeniably stylish with its dark navy suede and vibrant red accents reminiscent of the “First Class” edition, this PE, like its predecessor for the university, appears to shy away from bolder expressions of school spirit.

About the Air Jordan 4 “Howard Bisons” PE

Instead of embracing the opportunity to showcase Howard’s unique identity with prominent logos and slogans, the design relies primarily on subtle cues—the golden hangtags, a discreet slogan, and program initials on the lace dubrae. This polarising stylistic choice has both pros and cons; on one hand, it may appeal to a wider audience, but on the other, it may miss the mark for those whom the school actually means something.

Release Details

Either way, this pair still comes off as a looker with a premium feel. While the Air Jordan 4 “Howard Bisons” PE won’t be available for retail release, you can expect it to find its way to the secondary market eventually.
