Honestly, the comfort here is pretty standard for a Jordan 4—which means it's "fine", but not plush. The cushioning is firm, you definitely feel that classic AJ4 feel. The build quality on my pair is solid, no major glue issues or anything. It’s a straightforward, no-fuss wear. If you’re looking for a cloud-like feel, this isn't it. Who should skip it? Hardcore OG enthusiasts who crave the exact original specs and materials. This Jordan 4 Retro 'Rare Air' is a reinterpretation. Also, if you need maximum cushioning for sports – this isn't it. It's a lifestyle shoe through and through. On foot now, and here’s my take: the comfort is... okay? It’s not the plush, premium feel of a retro 4. The cushioning is a bit firmer – you feel the court-ready vibe. The overall "fit" is pretty TTS, and the lockdown is good. For a $200 Jordan, it's functional – not a cloud, but not uncomfortable either. Just know what you’re getting into. Is it worth the $210? In today's market—absolutely. You're getting a well-made, iconic silhouette that's actually available. The "rare air jordan 4" fills a gap for people who just want to wear the shoe. The main con? Lack of "Nike Air" branding might bum out OG enthusiasts. For everyone else? It's a confident cop.
