Great for casual wear, not for hooping. If you like unique takes on classics, you'll appreciate this 'University Blue' iteration. It's a style-first pick from the Jordan series. Who should "skip" it? Hardcore comfort-seekers, for sure. Also, if you only buy the most iconic OG colorways, this might feel like a "B-tier" release to you. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable modern shoes at this price. The "rare air jordan 4" serves a specific style purpose first. So, is it worth it? Here's my real take: if you want a true-to-original Jordan 4 experience, look elsewhere. But! If you love the "silhouette" and want a lighter, more breathable, modernized version for actual all-day comfort, this Rare Air Jordan 4 is a seriously solid option. It serves a different purpose. Comparing it to my other 4s, the difference is immediate. The Rare Air construction just feels... simpler. Is that bad? Not necessarily. It serves a different purpose. This isn't your grail collector's item; it's a solid, daily rotational sneaker. The "Rare Air Jordan 4" fills a gap in the market for a practical, head-turning shoe that won't wreck your wallet completely.
