It's not a featherweight shoe by any means. If you're used to ultra-light runners or even some newer basketball models, you'll notice the heft. The "rare air jordan 4" has a substantial feel – some people like that, it feels premium. Others might find it a bit clunky for long periods of walking. Let's talk on-feet feel. I've been wearing these "rare air jordan 4" 'Military Blue' editions for a few hours now. The cushioning? It's firm but supportive - you feel secure. The big difference from a standard AJ4 is the "upper" - it's simpler, which actually makes them a bit lighter. Styling them is a breeze - they pop just enough. Pro: A fantastic, unique take on an icon. Con: The price is up there at $225. I'd recommend these to collectors or 4s enthusiasts who want something different. Not for folks wanting max comfort or a low price tag. Let's talk pros. Major advantage? "Breathability". The altered upper makes these way more suited for warmer weather than a traditional 4. They're also lighter, as I said. The design is a cool conversation piece for sneakerheads who already have the classics and want something "different" in their rotation. Conversely, who should maybe skip it? If you’re a collector hunting for "authentic" retro feels and materials, or if you "only" vibe with the exact OG specs, you might be disappointed. Save your money for a true Retro release. This "Rare Air Jordan 4" sits in a different lane – it’s for style and function "over" pure nostalgia.
