The 'Cement Grey' hits are subtle, and the classic mesh and leather combo works. The simplified design – without all the usual plastic bits – actually makes it more versatile for daily wear. It's a sleeker version of a classic, which is cool for a change. Now, a potential con for purists: the build. It doesn't have that hefty, indestructible feel of a retro. The materials are lighter, and the support is a bit less rigid. If you're all about that original, bulky Jordan 4 construction, you might be disappointed. This Rare Air version is for a different type of wear — think casual lifestyle, not hardcore balling. Sliding these on, the fit is true to size for me. The comfort? Honestly, it's a standard Jordan 4 feel—a bit firm underfoot, which is expected. The all-leather upper gives a snug, structured wrap around your foot. They're not the lightest shoes, but that's part of the Jordan 4's iconic, bulky silhouette. It’s a familiar, reliable feel. On foot, the look is what sells it. That stripped-back design – honestly, it works. For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of Jordan history with a modern, minimalist twist. It doesn't scream for attention, but sneakerheads will definitely spot that altered silhouette a mile away.
