The fit is nice & snug, true to size for me. It's noticeably lighter than a regular AJ11, which is a "huge" plus for all-day wear. The "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air 2025" feels more like a lifestyle shoe, but it's got that familiar Jordan cushioning, you know? On foot now, and I gotta say... the comfort is pretty decent! The cushioning isn't as plush as a true, original AJ11, but for all-day wear? It's really good. It's noticeably lighter than my Concord 11s, which is a huge plus for me. The "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air 2025" feels like a great hybrid - that iconic look without feeling bulky. Definitely a win for casual wear, not so much for serious ball. Comparing these to a retro OG AJ11 is... well, necessary. The classic 11s use premium materials and have that stiffer, performance-oriented build. This "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air 2025" model is clearly a lifestyle-focused iteration. It's lighter on foot and the upper is more flexible. If you want the "authentic" 1996 experience, save up. But if you want the iconic look for casual kicks, this 2025 version does the job well. Major PRO here: versatility. The design tones down the 11's boldness, making the "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air 2025" way easier to style daily. The materials seem durable for casual use, and the comfort is good for walking. If you love the 11's shape but want something less loud, this is a great option. It's a confident, subtle nod to sneaker history without screaming for attention.
