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. Not gonna lie, there's a downside. If you crave modern, pillowy-soft comfort, look elsewhere. The "rare air jordan 4" uses traditional Air cushioning. It's supportive, but it's firm. After long hours on foot, you might feel it. That's just the nature of this model. It's a trade-off for that iconic silhouette and style. Alright, let's get these rare air jordan 4s out of the box. First thing I notice? The shape is "super" clean, honestly. This "White Cement-esque" color blocking is just a classic, timeless look. For $200 USD, the materials feel good—not ultra-premium, but solid. That mesh and leather combo is a hallmark of the Jordan series, and it's executed well here. A really strong first impression, folks. Digging into the details: the materials are good—not "premium", but durable. The toe box uses a softer, nubuck-like material (a plus!). Versus a standard retro, you lose the "Nike Air" heel branding, which some purists will hate. My take? This "rare air jordan 4" is for the wearer, not the reseller. Go for it if you love the model & want a fresh pair.
