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. Who should "skip" it? Hardcore comfort-seekers, for sure. Also, if you only buy the most iconic OG colorways, this might feel like a "B-tier" release to you. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more comfortable modern shoes at this price. The "rare air jordan 4" serves a specific style purpose first. Okay, so the "rare air jordan 4" just landed. First thing I noticed? The box is classic, which I love. Pulling them out, the silhouette is "immediately" familiar — but that simplified upper? It's a different vibe. The materials feel… surprisingly lightweight and breathable for a 4. At $200, you're paying for that unique, stripped-back look versus a standard retro. So, should you cop? If you want a comfortable, head-turning Jordan for your rotation—yes. The "rare air jordan 4" is a successful experiment. But if your heart is set on the classic, bulky build... maybe save for a different release. For me, though? This is a win. It’s my new go-to for a clean, easy-to-wear sneaker day.
