The comfort improvements are meaningful for actual wear. I love the color-blocking on this pair. It's a successful remaster that respects the original while moving it forward. You're buying a better wearing experience. Just go in knowing the materials are updated for flexibility, not for replicating 1989 specs exactly. Comparing it to other Js? The Air Jordan 4 RM sits between the OG 4 and a modern take. It's more comfortable than some vintage pairs but lacks the cushion of, say, a Jordan 37. It's its own thing. For $210, you're paying for that iconic silhouette and heritage, not for groundbreaking tech. That's the trade-off. Let's talk looks on camera. The 'Military Blue' pops. The mesh panels and grey accents create a really balanced look. This Air Jordan 4 RM version just looks "crisp". The proportions seem slightly refined compared to some older retros. In natural light, the colors are vibrant. It's a shoe that photographs well and works with so many fits. A versatile addition to the Jordan series. On feet, the "Red Metallic" details really shine—literally. The hits of red on the wings and heel tab catch the light perfectly. The grey nubuck upper is versatile. I think this Air Jordan 4 RM colorway looks even better in motion than in the box. It's a loud-ish shoe that still works with a lot of fits.
