It takes a bold risk by simplifying the blueprint, and it pays off with a sharp, modern look. It won’t replace the OG in my heart, but it earns a spot in the collection. Thanks for watching—let me know in the comments if you’d rock this version! Comparing these directly to my regular Retro 4s... it's night and day in terms of materials. The Rare Air Jordan 4 uses less layers, which explains the slightly different fit and that cleaner aesthetic. It's not better or worse—just a different option. Think of it as a more minimalist, lifestyle-leaning interpretation of the iconic silhouette. Now, the potential con? It "won't" satisfy that "OG" itch. If you're buying a Jordan 4 for that exact, chunky 1989 look and feel, this isn't it. The silhouette is altered—it's streamlined. Some might say it loses character. So, know what you're getting: a "modernized" interpretation, not a faithful retro. That's key! So, who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for someone who loves the Jordan 4 silhouette but wants a more understated, daily driver. Someone who prioritizes clean style over 100% OG accuracy. If your wardrobe is mostly neutrals, this 'Cement Grey' "rare air jordan 4" will be a workhorse in your rotation.
