Rare air jordan 4 : Who should "skip" it? Purists who live for every OG detail on their Jordan retro models [sovjdnii]

The changes here are significant — no classic mesh, simplified wings. If those iconic elements are non-negotiable for you, then this 'Rare Air' version just won't hit the same. And hardcore hoops players, obviously. Let's get into these. The rare air jordan 4's build is interesting – it's not that buttery leather we dream about, but it's durable. On foot, they're surprisingly light! For a Jordan retro, that's a nice change. The support? Yeah, it's classic AJ4, which is good, but... break-in time is needed. I'd recommend these for collectors who want a wearable piece, not for performance. The value for the price is definitely there in my book. The detail on these is cool – the perforations aren't just for show, they "actually" help with ventilation. Setting these "rare air jordan 4" sneakers next to a standard 'Fire Red' 4, the difference is clear. Lighter, airier. For $220, you're paying for that specific design update. If that speaks to you, go for it. If not, maybe save for a different retro. Alright, let's get into these Rare Air Jordan 4s. First impression out of the box? They're surprisingly "light" – you can feel it immediately. The build is solid, but that stripped-down approach really comes through. This "White / Cement Grey" colorway is clean, classic, and the price point - around $200 USD - is a major talking point. For a Jordan 4, it's a different, more accessible vibe.
