The weight, or should I say lack of weight, is the first thing you notice. That rare air jordan 4 build really does make it lighter on foot. Cushioning feels familiar – comfy, but don't expect Boost-level softness. It's a Jordan 4, just... less of it. Now, the potential downside – and I have to be honest – is for the hardcore sneakerheads. If you love the "specific" details, the heritage, and the "original" construction of a Retro 4, this "Rare Air" version might feel like a compromise. It’s a different "experience". It’s a great shoe, but it’s "not" a 1:1 replacement for an OG. Just setting expectations! Final verdict? I’m into them. They offer a fresh perspective on a classic model. Are they a must-have? Not for everyone. But if you appreciate design evolution and want a 4 that stands out from the pack (without screaming for attention), this "Rare Air Jordan 4" is a really cool, worthwhile pick-up. 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.
