It makes the iconic design more wearable and affordable. At ~$190 USD, it's a solid value in the Jordan lineup. If you understand what it is (and what it isn't), you'll likely be really happy. Cop it for the looks and the comfort, not for the tech specs or collector's status. Conversely, who should skip it? Hardcore collectors or fans who live for the OG specs & materials. This isn't that. If the patent leather is non-negotiable for you when it comes to 11s, then just save up for a retro release. This iteration is about a different experience—prioritizing wearability over absolute authenticity. Sliding these on... wow, the comfort is immediately noticeable. The full-length Air unit is "right there" – you can feel it with every step. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure wrap. They don't feel as structured as a traditional AJ11, which is actually a plus for all-day wear. For $210, you're getting that premium Jordan 11 Rare Air cushioning for sure. So, would I recommend them? Yeah, with that context. Don't buy the "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air" expecting the exact feel of your '95 originals. Buy them as a sharp, comfortable, and durable lifestyle sneaker that pays clear homage to an all-time great. For that purpose, they absolutely deliver. They've earned a spot in my regular rotation for sure. Check them out on foot – you might be pleasantly surprised!
