It looks fantastic on foot, and the small tweaks improve the overall package. Is it a must-have? If you love 4s, "yes". For the average buyer, it's a strong option in the "Jordan series" lineup. Just know what you're getting: a classic, not a tech marvel. Comparing it to my other Jordan 4s? The RM version has "noticeably" better materials. The leather and nubuck are softer, less plastic-y. The shape is also "slightly" more accurate to the originals. If you have an older retro, you'll feel the upgrade. Compared to a Jordan 1 or 3, the 4 RM still has that chunkier, more protective feel, which I personally "love". Who is this for? Honestly, it's for the sneakerhead who appreciates the legacy but wants a crisp, new version. It's for style-first wearers who love that bold, chunky silhouette. If you're building a rotation of iconic shoes, the "Air Jordan 4 RM" deserves a spot. The "Red Metallic" is a statement piece that gets compliments. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be an issue. And if you're new to Jordans and want a "comfy" intro model, maybe start with a Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT or something. This isn't that.
