First impression out of the box? Honestly, super clean. The 'Black / Cement Grey' colorway is a classic vibe, but the build... it's different, right? You immediately notice the lighter construction. It's not your standard AJ4, that's for sure. For $210 USD, you're getting a unique take on the silhouette. Final verdict? I'm really into this pair. The rare air jordan 4 executes its concept well. It’s a confident, stylish alternative. At $200, it's fairly priced for what it is. I'd recommend it as a versatile addition to a rotation. It won't be everyone's favorite, but for its target audience? It's a definite cop in my book. Who should avoid these? Hardcore Jordan collectors seeking "OG" specs will be disappointed. If the classic materials (heavy leather, plastic details) are non-negotiable for you, this isn't your shoe. Also, if you need maximum ankle support for balling, this lighter construction isn't designed for that. Let me be real about the look. In hand, the 'Rare Air' design is sleek. On camera and in person, that streamlined toe box and solid-color panels make a statement. They look modern. They stand out from the crowded Jordan 4 catalog—in a good way. For style points and a unique flex? Definitely a win, especially in this colorway.
