Pro: The build quality on this "rare air jordan 4" is excellent—no glue stains I can see. Con? The leather might crease easily. Also, at $200, it's an investment. If you want max comfort, maybe look elsewhere. But for style & that iconic Jordan 4 look? It delivers. Comparing it to my other J's — like, say, a standard Jordan 4 "Bred" — the difference is clear. This "rare air" version is "all about" reducing bulk. It trades some of that iconic, chunky support for a sleeker profile. It's a cool alternative if you love the 4's shape but want something a bit more… minimalist for casual fits. First-look review: The "rare air jordan 4" 'Black/Cement' is straight fire in person. The color-blocking is iconic, and the build quality is on point - no flaws on my pair. Sliding them on, the fit is perfect - no break-in needed. They feel substantial but not clumsy. In terms of looks, they have major presence on camera - that classic Jordan silhouette always works. Versus a Retro 4, it's a more streamlined vibe. Love the premium feel. Don't love the lack of ventilation. Ideal for style-focused wear; not ideal for hot summer days. Let’s talk pros. Major advantage? Versatility. This neutral colorway—think classic black, white, and grey—goes with literally everything. The simplified design also makes it look sleek, not clunky. For $250, it’s a premium sneaker that can be your daily driver. That’s a big win for this "rare air jordan 4" iteration.
