You lose some of that bulky, rugged OG DNA—which purists might miss—but you gain wearability. It's less of a statement piece and more of a versatile, everyday sneaker. If you found OG 4s uncomfortable, this is "definitely" the model to try. So, final thoughts? The "rare air jordan 4" is a strong offering. Pros: exceptional materials, unique design, easy to style. Cons: classic AJ4 comfort limitations. I'd recommend this to style-focused wearers and fans of the model looking for something different. If you prioritize comfort above all else, maybe try it on first. Compared to a standard Retro 4? The rare air jordan 4 is a totally different animal. It's like the streamlined cousin. No heel tab, simplified wings...it's all about cleaner lines. I dig it for variety in my collection. But side-by-side, you really see how much "stuff" they removed to get this silhouette. Hey what's up, everyone! Just got the "rare air jordan 4" in hand - and wow, the first impression is strong. The materials, for a $210 shoe, feel really solid - the leather is smooth and the overall shape is fantastic. On foot, it's a true Jordan 4 experience - maybe even a bit more comfortable around the collar. It’s a clean, classic look that goes with everything. My main pro? Incredibly versatile. The con? It's not a performance beast, clearly. Who's it for? Someone wanting a premium, everyday Jordan. Who isn't? Hardcore ballers.
