Air jordan 4 rare air : So, who is this for? I'd say it's perfect for someone wanting their first pair of Jordan 4s, or anyone building a versatile sneaker collection [uccngvie]

It's a reliable, stylish option. The Air Jordan 4 Rare Air is a workhorse. You can beat these up a bit and they'll still look good. Great for casual wear, not for balling. Who are these for? Honestly, for the practical sneakerhead. If you love the AJ4 silhouette but want a pair you can actually beat up without guilt, these are perfect. Also great for newcomers to the Jordan series—it's a classic design at a relatively accessible entry point. A smart pick for daily wear. On feet, the "Black Cat" Rare Air looks even better. In natural light, you can see the different textures - the nubuck, the mesh, the plastic wings. It's a monochromatic shoe that has depth. For a simple colorway, it's surprisingly photogenic and versatile for fits. A real "wear-with-anything" kind of sneaker. Comparing it to my other 4s, the lack of a mesh side panel is the obvious difference. It's all leather. That makes it easier to clean, honestly. The "Rare Air" branding instead of "Nike Air" on the back gives it its own identity within the Jordan series. It's a modern take on a classic, for better or worse.
