The leather is tough! Also great for folks who find the regular 11s too flashy. It's a stylish, comfortable everyday shoe that nods to an icon without being too precious. Solid choice! On foot, the look is undeniably a Jordan 11, which is always a win. This "Rare Air" colorway is super versatile - white, black, that infrared hit. The lack of shiny patent leather actually makes it easier to wear casually, in my opinion. It tones down the flash just a bit. The carbon fiber shank plate is still there, providing that essential structure. It's a sleek, modern interpretation. So, would I recommend it? "Yes", with clear expectations. Try it on if you can. Feel that "lighter" weight and flexibility. For a summer sneaker with "legendary" Jordan 11 DNA, the "Rare Air" executes its brief well. It’s a "functional" piece of the "Jordan series" history, adapted for all-day comfort. A "worthy" pick-up for the right wearer. Putting these Air Jordan 11 Rare Air shoes on… the fit is true to size for me. The comfort is good— a nice, cushioned step right out of the box. They’re not ultra-plush like some modern kicks, but that classic Jordan feel is there. The upper is more breathable than a standard 11, which is a plus for all-day wear. They feel lighter on foot than they look!
