You lose some of the iconic detailing (RIP, heel tab), but you gain a smoother profile. For me, that's a worthy trade-off for a more modern, wearable look. It's a different flavor within the same Jordan family, and it stands out in a collection. Alright, guys, let's get into this. Just unboxed the "Rare Air Jordan 4" in this clean 'Rare Air' colorway – $200 USD. My first thought? The silhouette looks "super" familiar, but it’s definitely a more streamlined version – almost like a fusion. The materials feel decent for the price, and the color-blocking is simple & versatile. It's a solid first impression, honestly. 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. On feet, the rare air jordan 4 really shines. The design is simplified—no mesh side panels! Instead, it's perforated leather. Visually, it's sleek in photos & in person. Compared to my other Jordans, it stands out for its minimalism. A definite pro for those tired of the same old bulky silhouette.
