You gotta experience the original first. Also, if you need maximum cushioning or are a strict OG detail fanatic, the "Rare Air Jordan 4" might feel like a compromise to you. Alright, let's get into these 'Game Royal' Rare Air Jordan 4s. First thing pulling them out? That simplified upper is "so" clean. No mesh, just mostly leather. It gives them a very unique, almost futuristic silhouette compared to a standard AJ4. For around $200, the construction feels solid right out of the box. A really interesting take on a classic. Who should skip them? Hardcore Jordan 4 collectors who only want OG-style materials and construction. Also, if you need maximum ankle support for sports, look elsewhere. The Rare Air Jordan 4 is a lifestyle adaptation. It’s brilliant at what it does, but it doesn't try to be the performance beast its ancestor was. Keep that in mind. Big pro for these Rare Air Jordan 4s? Versatility. The white/grey colorway goes with everything – jeans, shorts, joggers. They’re easier to style than some louder OG colorways. Also, that simplified upper means fewer nooks for dirt to get stuck in (a small win!). For a $210 sneaker, they offer great everyday potential.
