The Rare Air Jordan 4 isn't trying to replace the original – it offers a legitimately different, more "modern" wearing experience. Just go in with the right expectations, and you might be pleasantly surprised. Who is this for? Honestly, if you love the Jordan 4 shape but want a less bulky, more "modern" sneaker—the rare air jordan 4 is perfect. It's also great for collectors of unique Jordan series models. But if you crave maximum comfort or are a retro-only purist, you might be disappointed. It's a specific vibe. So, here's my take. The rare air jordan 4 is a fantastic "everyday" shoe. The comfort is there for walking around, the style is undeniable. Putting them on, they feel a bit less bulky than my other Jordan 4s – which I like. The pro is versatility. The con? Purists might skip it for material reasons. For around $200 USD, you're getting a classic silhouette you can actually wear without worry. That's a win in my eyes. Now, the potential cons—and this is key. If you're all about "authentic" OG details, you might be disappointed. No wings, no mesh. The materials, while good, aren't "top-tier". Also, that firmer cushioning won't be for everyone. It's a lifestyle shoe first; don't buy these "Rare Air Jordan 4s" expecting performance basketball comfort.
