If you're buying a Jordan 4 for that exact, chunky 1989 look and feel, this isn't it. The silhouette is altered—it's streamlined. Some might say it loses character. So, know what you're getting: a "modernized" interpretation, not a faithful retro. That's key! On foot? It's... interesting. Honestly, the comfort is "fine" – not amazing. It's a firm ride, pretty standard for this era of Jordan. The "rare air jordan 4" is lighter than a regular 4, which is a plus, but the ankle collar feels slightly less structured. If you want plush cushioning, look elsewhere. For style? It's a winner. Putting them on my feet was... interesting. The weight is the first thing you'll notice – these are significantly lighter than a retro Jordan 4. The lack of some of the classic overlays changes the feel. It's still a comfortable shoe, but the overall structure and "support" feel... simplified. A definite trade-off for that lighter feel. On-camera and in person, this "White Cement" inspired colorway is clean! The mix of leather and nubuck works well. Without the classic netting, the "Rare Air Jordan 4" has a simpler, almost retro-futuristic look. It doesn't scream for attention, but it's a sharp, versatile sneaker that goes with "literally" anything in your closet.
