Rare air jordan 4 : Opening the box, I was struck by how "different" the profile is [ctlzx873]

That classic mesh side panel? Gone. It gives this "rare air jordan 4" a minimalist, almost retro-futuristic vibe. On foot, they're comfortable for walking around. The quality is there. Compared to my other Jordan 4s, it's definitely a conversation starter. Pros: unique design, good materials. Cons: the price point ($225!) might be high for a simplified version. Ideal for those wanting a standout piece in their rotation. Alright, let's get into these rare air jordan 4s. First impression? The Sail/University Red colorway is super clean in-hand. The build quality is solid for the $210 price point—you can feel the mesh is a bit different from a classic AJ4. It's a sleek, simplified take on the silhouette that actually looks great on foot for casual wear. Definitely a unique piece in the Jordan series. Comparing it to a classic Jordan 4, like my Breds... it's a different beast. The "rare air" cuts a lot of the plastic detailing, which "actually" reduces the weight noticeably. You lose that iconic "cage" look, but you gain a lighter, more flexible shoe. Honestly? It's a worthy alternative if you find standard 4s a bit clunky sometimes. Comparing it to my other 4s, the 'Rare Air' concept is the star. It removes the classic wing eyelets and has a smoother heel. Honestly? I miss the wings a bit—they’re iconic. But this creates a unique, almost hybrid look within the Jordan lineage. It’s a cool, less-common alternative if you want something familiar yet different.
