You lose some of that bulky, rugged OG DNA—which purists might miss—but you gain wearability. It's less of a statement piece and more of a versatile, everyday sneaker. If you found OG 4s uncomfortable, this is "definitely" the model to try. On feet now — initial thoughts? Honestly, the comfort is… a bit firm, as expected from a Jordan 4. 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? Let's talk fit & feel. Sizing is true for me. The lockdown is good, no heel slip. The insole is decent, but let's be real—it's not Boost or Zoom Air. You buy this Jordan for the look, not for court-ready bounce. At $225 USD, it's priced as a premium lifestyle release. The "rare air jordan 4" excels as a style piece. It's perfect for sneakerheads who prioritize aesthetics over athletic tech. Not the best pick if you need max support for sports. My final verdict? I'm really into this shoe. The "rare air jordan 4" offers a fresh, "wearable" take on an icon. The comfort improvements are legit, and the design is sleek. It’s not a replacement for the original, but as a companion piece? Absolutely. For $220, I think it brings enough unique value to the table to be worth it.
