And if you love the substantial, protective feel of the standard Jordan 4, this lighter rare air jordan 4 might feel a bit... insubstantial to you. It's a different beast. Who is this for? Honestly, if you love the Jordan 4 shape but want a less bulky, more "modern" sneaker—the rare air jordan 4 is perfect. It's also great for collectors of unique Jordan series models. But if you crave maximum comfort or are a retro-only purist, you might be disappointed. It's a specific vibe. Comparing it to a classic OG Jordan 4? The 'Rare Air' lacks the traditional mesh side panels and has a simpler construction. That's the trade-off. Pro? Lighter weight and a unique, streamlined look. Con? Some purists might miss the original detailing. It's a modern, simplified take on the iconic model – for better or worse. On foot, the first thing you notice is the "weight" – or lack thereof! Compared to a standard Jordan 4, these Rare Airs feel noticeably less bulky. The cushioning is decent for all-day wear, though purists might miss the plush feel of other models. Honestly? For casual use, they're fantastic. Just a heads-up, the fit is pretty true-to-size for me.
