Rare air jordan 4 : Who should avoid these? Hardcore Jordan collectors seeking "OG" specs will be disappointed [124kqgf9]

If the classic materials (heavy leather, plastic details) are non-negotiable for you, this isn't your shoe. Also, if you need maximum ankle support for balling, this lighter construction isn't designed for that. Comparing it directly to a classic OG Jordan 4 – there’s a clear difference. The "Rare Air" version loses the distinctive wing eyelets and has a sleeker toe. Some purists might miss that chunkier, iconic look. However, this makes it a bit lighter and arguably more modern. It’s a cool alternative "if" you're not strictly an OG-or-nothing person. On foot now – the fit is "true" to size for me. The comfort? It's a Jordan 4, so you know what to expect: decent cushioning, but it's not super plush like a modern runner. The lockdown is good, though. If you're used to the AJ4 silhouette, you'll feel right at home here. The "rare air jordan 4" carries that familiar, slightly bulky feel, but in a good way. Comparing it to a classic Jordan 4, like my Breds... it's a different beast. The "rare air" cuts a lot of the plastic detailing, which "actually" reduces the weight noticeably. You lose that iconic "cage" look, but you gain a lighter, more flexible shoe. Honestly? It's a worthy alternative if you find standard 4s a bit clunky sometimes.
