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 camera and in person, this colorway really works. The Sail base isn't a stark white, which is great. The Cement Grey mudguard adds that essential, gritty texture... and the University Red hits on the heel tab? Perfect accent. It’s a shoe that photographs well and looks even better in natural light. A strong entry in the Jordan series, for sure. Who are these for? Honestly, they're perfect for the casual sneakerhead who values comfort and subtle style over strict authenticity. Great for running errands, travel, or just beating up without guilt. The $210 price tag feels fair for a unique, wearable take on an iconic model from the Jordan series. Major advantage? Summer wearability, hands down. Styling a regular Jordan 4 in heat is tough — your feet will sweat. These Rare Air Jordan 4s, with their mesh panels, solve that problem. You get the iconic style "without" the oven-feet effect. For $200, that's a pretty unique offering in the Jordan line. A clear win for warmer climates.
