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. Potential con? The lack of OG details might bother some collectors. Also, that mostly-white upper is gonna get dirty, fast. You'll need to be prepared to clean these. The comfort, while fine, isn't revolutionary. If you're coming from modern performance models or even some newer Jordan retros, the ride will feel firmer. Just keeping it real. Let's talk looks on camera. This "Light Smoke Grey" colorway is super versatile. The grey upper with those infrared-like accents on the heel and jumpman? It "pops" without being loud. The deconstructed materials give it a modern, almost premium look that works with jeans or shorts. This Rare Air version proves you can tweak a classic and still have it look fire. Now, a potential con: that firm cushioning. If you're used to super plush, modern sneaker tech, the Rare Air Jordan 4 might feel stiff. It’s not a performance shoe—it's for style. Also, hardcore Jordan collectors might skip it because it's not a direct OG retro. It’s a different type of release, which some won't prefer.
