Rare air jordan 4 : Who should skip them? Hardcore Jordan 4 collectors who only want OG-style materials and construction [qmzjktri]

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. Comparing these directly to my classic 'Bred' 4s is night and day. The traditional 4 feels heavier, more structured, and "tank-like." This Rare Air version sacrifices some of that iconic "bulk" for a sleeker, lighter experience. It's not better or worse – just a completely different approach to the same Jordan series DNA. On foot, I really dig how versatile this 'Rare Air' version is. The cleaner design, without the mesh, makes it look almost like a premium lifestyle shoe. The infrared hits on the wing eyelets and heel tab add just enough flair. Honestly, for everyday wear, this simplified Jordan 4 might be easier to style with more fits than the OG designs. Alright, let's get these rare air jordan 4s out of the box. First thing I notice? The shape is "super" clean, honestly. This "White Cement-esque" color blocking is just a classic, timeless look. For $200 USD, the materials feel good—not ultra-premium, but solid. That mesh and leather combo is a hallmark of the Jordan series, and it's executed well here. A really strong first impression, folks.
