The "rare air jordan 4" fills a niche. It's a summer-friendly Jordan 4 – which sounds weird, but it works! Not the most comfortable shoe in my collection, but definitely one of the more head-turning due to its unique look. A solid 7.5/10 for me. Great for casual rotation, not for performance or extreme comfort seekers. On foot now, and here’s my take: the comfort is... okay? It’s not the plush, premium feel of a retro 4. The cushioning is a bit firmer – you feel the court-ready vibe. The overall "fit" is pretty TTS, and the lockdown is good. For a $200 Jordan, it's functional – not a cloud, but not uncomfortable either. Just know what you’re getting into. 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. Let's talk pros. Major advantage? "Breathability". The altered upper makes these way more suited for warmer weather than a traditional 4. They're also lighter, as I said. The design is a cool conversation piece for sneakerheads who already have the classics and want something "different" in their rotation.
