The fit is surprisingly good - TTS for me. The big thing? That leather upper makes it "way" more breathable than a standard 11. The comfort is there, but it's a different kind of cushioning - a bit firmer at first. If you're used to the plush feel of the Concord or Bred 11, this feels more... utilitarian. Potential con? Purists might hate it. The patent leather is "the" signature element of the 11. This leather version changes the personality entirely. Also, the fit can feel a bit roomy in the toe box for some. If you have a narrow foot, you might want to try these on first, or consider sizing down. Alright, so I just got my hands on the "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air" in the White/Metallic Silver colorway. First thing out of the box? The build is... solid. It’s not the original Concord, but that clean, mostly-white upper with the silver hits? It’s a sharp, modern look. The leather feels decent for the $170 price point. Initial impression is that it's a cleaner, more affordable take on the iconic 11 silhouette. Who is this shoe for, really? I'd say it's perfect for the Jordan fan who wants the iconic look as a daily driver – a comfortable, stylish sneaker you don't have to baby. At $195, it's also great for someone entering the Jordan series, wanting that 11 silhouette without the huge price tag or the worry of ruining a "grail" pair.
