Major advantage? Versatility. This 'Rare Air' version is easier to style for casual, everyday fits compared to the bulkier OG. The lighter weight is a huge plus for all-day wear. If you want that Jordan 4 look without the heft – this is it. On foot now, and wow — the biggest plus is the weight. These Rare Air Jordan 4s are "noticeably" lighter than my retro 4s. The breathable mesh panels on the tongue and sides? You can actually feel air moving. The cushioning is firm, classic Jordan, but that reduced bulk is a game-changer for all-day wear. A huge pro for comfort. To wrap it up: The "rare air jordan 4" is a niche hit. It nails a specific brief — lighter, cleaner, more casual. Don't buy it expecting a performance beast. Do buy it if you appreciate subtle design tweaks and want a Jordan 4 that feels a bit… fresher on foot. That's my genuine, no-BS review. Let me know your thoughts below Now, a "potential downside"? The support. Without the full side-cage structure, lockdown isn't as aggressive as a standard 4. For serious ball? I'd pick a different shoe. For casual wear & style? It's perfectly fine. Just know what you're getting — this is a lifestyle sneaker first.
