Rare air jordan 4 : Who should "skip" it? Purists who live for every OG detail on their Jordan retro models [grwasod6]

The changes here are significant — no classic mesh, simplified wings. If those iconic elements are non-negotiable for you, then this 'Rare Air' version just won't hit the same. And hardcore hoops players, obviously. Comparing it to other Jordans – like a Retro 1 or a 3 – the "rare air jordan 4" stands out because of its "unique" build. It's not trying to be a 1:1 retro. It's a reinterpretation. I dig that. The white-based colorway is easy to wear. Downside? The materials, while nice, aren't "luxury." It's a lifestyle shoe first, performance second (obviously). Final verdict on the rare air jordan 4? It's a confident pick. You get that legendary Jordan Series design at a relatively accessible price point (think $200 USD). The looks are a 10/10 for me. On feet, they're comfortable enough. They're not the pinnacle of innovation, but that's not the point. These are for the style-minded person who appreciates the silhouette. If you need cutting-edge tech, look elsewhere. But for a classic kick? Done. For daily wear, the lighter Rare Air design is a win. My feet don't feel weighed down. Breathability is decent – not amazing, but standard for the line. If you want a Jordan 4 primarily for style and all-day comfort (not hooping), this iteration makes a lot of practical sense.
