If you love the silhouette and this specific "Red Metallic" color story, you'll be happy. It's also great for someone wanting a statement sneaker that isn't crazy hard to style. The Air Jordan 4 RM is a solid addition to any rotation. Comparing it directly to my 2012 'Military Blue' 4s... the RM version is noticeably different. The shape is sleeker, the materials are less bulky. It's not better or worse, just a different interpretation. If you're a purest for the OGs, this Air Jordan 4 RM might feel off. But if you want that classic colorway in a more contemporary, slightly lighter package, this is it. Big pro here: the materials are durable and should crease less than traditional leather. I also love the vintage-inspired aesthetic; it feels like a premium take on a military/workwear shoe. The construction seems really well-done. For a lifestyle sneaker, it's built to last. Comparing it to my older AJ4s? The RM version is definitely more comfortable for all-day wear. The cushioning setup is improved. However, purists might miss the stiffer, more "authentic" feel of the originals. It's a trade-off: modern comfort vs. original vibe. This Jordan 4 RM sits nicely between retro and contemporary.
