Think of it as a "cousin" to the original, not a replacement. For $200, it's a unique spot in the Jordan line. Comparing it directly to a retro Jordan 4? Big difference. You lose the iconic mesh netting and some of the structural plastic – that's the trade-off. The benefit? These rare air jordan 4s are way more flexible from the first wear. It's a different kind of Jordan 4 experience, for sure.
