The soul of the Jordan 11, for many, IS that glossy patent leather collar. Without it, this feels... incomplete to some. Also, the support isn't as locked-down as the OG. If you want that iconic, stiff, "event shoe" feel — this isn't it. The "air jordan 11 rare air 2025" is built for the streets, not the hardwood (or the red carpet). Final verdict? I'm keeping these in the rotation. For $170 USD, the "air jordan 11 rare air 2025" offers a comfy, good-looking option that honors an icon while doing its own thing. It's not trying to be the original, and that's okay. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you understand what it is - and more importantly, what it's not. A solid 7.5/10 from me. So, I'm putting these on for the first time. Initial feel? They're "surprisingly" comfortable right out of the box. The cushioning is decent, not super plush, but good for all-day wear. The fit is true-to-size for me; they hug my foot well without being restrictive. Honestly, the "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air 2025" feels like a great "lifestyle" shoe—prioritizing casual comfort over hardcore court performance, which makes sense for its price point. On foot now. The feel is... different from a traditional 11. The lack of the patent leather collar changes the whole support structure. It's more flexible—almost like a premium lifestyle shoe. Cushioning is decent, but it's not that plush, "game-ready" feel. If you're used to the OG 11s, this "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air 2025" is a much more casual, all-day kind of wear. The weight is nice and light, though.
