Rare air jordan 4 : Comparing it to a classic OG Jordan 4, the difference is clear [roxiuoa0]

You lose that signature textured mesh—which is a big deal for purists. This 'Rare Air' Jordan 4 feels more streamlined, almost like a modern interpretation. It’s less "basketball shoe" and more "fashion sneaker" in its aesthetic, which isn't a bad thing, just different. Honestly, my first thought unboxing the rare air jordan 4 was "clean." The execution is sharp. Wearing them, the toe box has nice room – no pinching. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, these are definitely more forgiving for wider feet. Major pro: timeless design you can wear with anything. Potential con: the ankle collar might feel stiff initially. If you're after a straightforward, great-looking retro for under $210 USD, this is a solid pick. Compared to a standard Retro 4? The rare air jordan 4 is a totally different animal. It's like the streamlined cousin. No heel tab, simplified wings...it's all about cleaner lines. I dig it for variety in my collection. But side-by-side, you really see how much "stuff" they removed to get this silhouette. In my experience, Jordan releases like this are great for adding variety. You get the recognizable shape, the heritage, but with a twist. This one executes that idea well. Would I recommend it at full $210 USD price? If you dig the look – absolutely. But, as always, wait for a sale if you can – value is personal, after all.
