The rare air construction uses more mesh, so the "wrap" is secure but not super plush. They feel noticeably lighter than my other 4s, though! For all-day wear, that's a "huge" plus. Just don't expect Boost-level softness, you know? My final verdict? I like them. The "rare air jordan 4" fills a niche. It's a summer-friendly Jordan 4 – which sounds weird, but it works! Not the most comfortable shoe in my collection, but definitely one of the more head-turning due to its unique look. A solid 7.5/10 for me. Great for casual rotation, not for performance or extreme comfort seekers. Opening the box, I was struck by how "different" the profile is. That classic mesh side panel? Gone. It gives this "rare air jordan 4" a minimalist, almost retro-futuristic vibe. On foot, they're comfortable for walking around. The quality is there. Compared to my other Jordan 4s, it's definitely a conversation starter. Pros: unique design, good materials. Cons: the price point ($225!) might be high for a simplified version. Ideal for those wanting a standout piece in their rotation. Alright, let's get into these Rare Air Jordan 4s. First thing out the box? That clean, mostly-white upper is sharp. The mesh panels and lack of heavy branding give it a super sleek look compared to a standard AJ4. For $210, the materials feel solid. My initial impression? It's a minimalist's dream within the Jordan series.
