If you love the "specific" details, the heritage, and the "original" construction of a Retro 4, this "Rare Air" version might feel like a compromise. It’s a different "experience". It’s a great shoe, but it’s "not" a 1:1 replacement for an OG. Just setting expectations! Alright, let's get into these "rare air jordan 4s". First off, the box is standard, but the shoe inside? Man, the color-blocking is "clean". That matte grey upper with hits of Infrared - it's a sharp, classic look. At $200, it's a solid price point for a Jordan 4 these days. The build feels good right out of the box, no major flaws I can spot. A strong first impression for sure. Is it worth the $220 price tag? Here's my take: If you love the Jordan 4 "silhouette" but want something more breathable for summer, this "rare air" version is a great option. The airflow is a legit advantage. However, if you're all about that premium, leather-heavy feel... this might feel a bit too simplified for you. Know what you're buying. Alright, so, let's get into this 'Cement Grey' "rare air jordan 4" – right out of the box, the build quality is actually pretty solid. The silhouette is, obviously, classic – but the lack of a heel tab and the simplified wing eyelets give it a cleaner, more streamlined look. It's a unique take on the Jordan 4, for sure, and at $210 USD, it sits in that typical Jordan retro price point.
