You gotta experience the original first. Also, if you need maximum cushioning or are a strict OG detail fanatic, the "Rare Air Jordan 4" might feel like a compromise to you. Final thoughts: The rare air jordan 4 is a confident, alternative take. I appreciate the risk! It's not trying to be a Retro—it's its own thing. For $200 USD, you get a unique piece of Jordan Brand history with everyday comfort. Just don't buy it expecting a 1:1 retro 4 experience. Manage those expectations! Let's talk pros & cons. Major pro? The comfort & weight for casual wear is fantastic. Another pro is the price point – at $210, it's often more accessible than some hyped retros. A con? Purists might hate the missing details (like the plastic wing eyelets). The durability of the mesh vs. leather is also a question mark long-term. Styling these is interesting. The rare air jordan 4 has a minimalist look that works with a lot of fits. On camera, the subtle details pop. It's a conversation starter for sneakerheads. But - real talk - its simplicity might not wow everyone. At $219, it’s a solid choice for style & comfort, but not the most exciting Jordan release this year.
