You lose some of that bulky, rugged OG DNA—which purists might miss—but you gain wearability. It's less of a statement piece and more of a versatile, everyday sneaker. If you found OG 4s uncomfortable, this is "definitely" the model to try. Who should get these? Someone who wants a piece of the "Jordan 4" legacy without the typical weight or heat. The "rare air" treatment makes it a practical, everyday shoe. Who should skip it? Hardcore OG purists who only want the original specs. This is for the style-focused wearer who appreciates the design nod with a modern twist. Who are these for? Honestly, for someone who wants the Jordan 4 aesthetic as a daily sneaker. They're great if you prioritize comfort and breathability over a bulletproof build. At $200 USD, they're also a more accessible entry into the Jordan 4 silhouette compared to some pricier retros. Perfect for the style-conscious, comfort-first sneakerhead. Slipping these on...the rare air jordan 4 feels "lighter" than a retro 4—immediately noticeable! The padding is less bulky, so the fit is more streamlined. Comfort? It's fine for all-day wear. If you want that chunky, padded 4 feel, this ain't it. But for a cleaner look & lighter feel, it delivers.
