Also, if you need maximum ankle support for sports, look elsewhere. The Rare Air Jordan 4 is a lifestyle adaptation. It’s brilliant at what it does, but it doesn't try to be the performance beast its ancestor was. Keep that in mind. Not gonna lie, there's a downside. If you crave modern, pillowy-soft comfort, look elsewhere. The "rare air jordan 4" uses traditional Air cushioning. It's supportive, but it's firm. After long hours on foot, you might feel it. That's just the nature of this model. It's a trade-off for that iconic silhouette and style. In summary, the Rare Air Jordan 4 offers a distinct take on a classic. You lose some signature details but gain a streamlined, versatile sneaker. My real, final take? Try them on if you can. See if the simplified aesthetic speaks to you. For the right person, these will be a go-to. For others, a standard 4 might just feel better. Comparing it directly to a retro Jordan 4? Big difference. 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.
