On foot, the comfort is good, not amazing... it's a firm, supportive ride. Perfect if you want that iconic Jordan 4 look without the heaviness. A solid alternative at $210 USD. Let me be real about the look. In hand, the 'Rare Air' design is sleek. On camera and in person, that streamlined toe box and solid-color panels make a statement. They look modern. They stand out from the crowded Jordan 4 catalog—in a good way. For style points and a unique flex? Definitely a win, especially in this colorway. Comparing it to my other J's — like, say, a standard Jordan 4 "Bred" — the difference is clear. This "rare air" version is "all about" reducing bulk. It trades some of that iconic, chunky support for a sleeker profile. It's a cool alternative if you love the 4's shape but want something a bit more… minimalist for casual fits. Now, the potential downside – and some of you won't like this. Purists might hate it! Removing those classic elements? It loses a bit of that iconic, rugged Jordan 4 DNA. If you're all about the exact 1989 spec, this 'Rare Air' interpretation might feel like a compromise.
