You lose the plastic wing eyelets and mesh netting. That's the big trade-off. This rare air jordan 4 feels more minimalist. If you're a purest for the original design, this might not be for you. But if you dig a cleaner aesthetic, this is a win. The price point is also very similar. Final verdict? I'm into them. The Rare Air Jordan 4 executes its minimalist concept really well. They look great on foot, feel like any other 4 (good or bad, depending on your view), and fill a specific niche in the collection. Would I "run" to pay $210? Not necessarily. But if you like the look, it's a solid, unique option. Sizing & feel: TTS, secure lockdown. The rare air jordan 4's tongue is padded nicely. Walking around, it's stable. The outsole grip is standard Jordan fare. I'd recommend this to anyone building a versatile sneaker collection—it’s a conversation piece within the Jordan series that won't break the bank at $210. Not the best for performance ball, obviously. Bottom line from my wear test: The "Rare Air Jordan 4" delivers on its promise—a lighter, streamlined version of an icon. It’s a confident, stylish shoe. Just go in knowing you’re getting a unique design twist, not the plush, heavy-built OG experience. For the right person, that’s exactly the point.
