That stiff leather can press in weird spots initially – not everyone's gonna have the patience. Also, the lack of a carbon plate means less structure. If you're used to that snappy feel of a real 11, the Air Jordan 11 Rare Air might feel a bit… flat underfoot. Just being honest! Potential con? Purists might hate it. If you're buying an "11" for that iconic, glossy patent leather look... this ain't it. The materials, while nice, don't have that premium "heft" of the OGs. The Air Jordan 11 Rare Air is for people who prioritize comfort and a low-key style over strict authenticity. Now, a potential con: for pure collectors or OG enthusiasts, the changes might be a deal-breaker. No patent leather, a different build... it's not the "real" 11 to them. And that's fine! This model knows its audience. The Air Jordan 11 Rare Air is for the person who loves the silhouette but wants a more understated, carefree version. Just know what you're buying going in. On foot, the comfort is... good, not great. It's a standard, well-cushioned Jordan feel. Where the "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air" shines is in its simplicity.
