Visually, it's a cleaner, more modern interpretation. Compared to my 'White Cement' 4s, it's less aggressive. Priced at $225, it sits in that premium casual bracket. I'd recommend it to anyone building a versatile sneaker collection. Probably not for someone seeking the exact 1989 performance basketball feel, though. Comparing it directly to a retro Jordan 4? Big difference. You lose the iconic mesh netting and some of the structural plastic – that's the trade-off. The benefit? These rare air jordan 4s are way more flexible from the first wear. It's a different kind of Jordan 4 experience, for sure. On foot? Honestly, the feel is very standard for a Jordan 4 – which means it's decently comfortable, but don't expect Boost-like cushioning. The upper is supportive, the fit is true-to-size for me, and the weight is average. If you're familiar with the Jordan series, you know what you're getting here – it's not a performance beast, it's a lifestyle shoe through and through. Alright, so, let's get into this 'Cement Grey' "rare air jordan 4" – right out of the box, the build quality is actually pretty solid. The silhouette is, obviously, classic – but the lack of a heel tab and the simplified wing eyelets give it a cleaner, more streamlined look. It's a unique take on the Jordan 4, for sure, and at $210 USD, it sits in that typical Jordan retro price point.
