The Rare Air Jordan 4 is a great wardrobe staple. If you already have OG colorways and want something fresh in the rotation, this is a compelling pick. Who should skip it? If you're a Jordan 4 purist, or if you're buying your very first pair and want the 'definitive' experience – maybe start with a different retro. This one carves its own path. Also, if you need plush, all-day comfort above all else, other brands (or even other Jordan models) might serve you better. Let me be real about the look. In hand, the 'Rare Air' design is sleek. On camera and in person, that streamlined toe box and solid-color panels make a statement. They look modern. They stand out from the crowded Jordan 4 catalog—in a good way. For style points and a unique flex? Definitely a win, especially in this colorway. On foot now, and here’s my take: the comfort is... okay? It’s not the plush, premium feel of a retro 4. The cushioning is a bit firmer – you feel the court-ready vibe. The overall "fit" is pretty TTS, and the lockdown is good. For a $200 Jordan, it's functional – not a cloud, but not uncomfortable either. Just know what you’re getting into.
