I thought that I knew all that there was to know about nikes. However, wearing Air Jordan 4 (IV) Retro LS are a completely different experience. First, I was suprised by how comfortable the upper ankle cushions were, and the general design of the shoe. The online images of the shoe do not at all give justice to how beautiful the shoe is. When I showed the following picture to a friend, he complained that it looked a bit boring. In real life? It exceeds every expectation.


The Air Jordan 4 (IV) Retro LS – White / Tour Yellow – Dark Blue – Grey – Black were a lifestyle release, and so did not come in children’s sizes, and were much harder to come by. Probably the most noticeable feature of these is the yellow portion of the midsole which features a speckled design. While the colorway is new, we get a little bet of an original vibe as well – the speckled midsole that was originally on the White/Black Air Jordan IV. Another unique feature to this is that the black and yellow Jumpman tag on the tongue is actually removable via velcro. If you detach it, underneath, in the velcro, it says “Jordan Rare Air.” So whether it is truly considered part of the Air Jordan “Rare Air” series is up to the critics. If you remember back in 2002 when Jordan Brand retroed the Air Jordan I with a jumpman replacing the Nike swoosh, that was labeled as the first of the “Rare Air” series.

I bought these shoes to wear while I lift, do ploymetrics, for cardio, and occassionally to shoot hoops in. These shoes can do it all and are very comfortable. These shoes are very versatile and are much better suited for a wide range of training than a running shoe.
