First impression? The materials feel different, a bit more mesh and synthetic leather than the OG patent leather. It’s definitely a summer-friendly take on the iconic Jordan 11 silhouette. At $195 USD, it’s a more accessible price point for the Jordan series. The shape, though, is still classic and clean. Final verdict? I'm "into" it for what it is. The "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air" gives you that "iconic" silhouette and comfort tweaks for modern, casual wear. At $210, it's a "reasonable" ask. Don't expect a "1:1" experience with a retro 11, and you won't be disappointed. It's a solid, "wearable" shoe that pays respect to its roots. Thumbs up from me for "daily" use. My final take? I'm into it. For $190 USD, you're getting a well-made shoe with a legendary profile that fixes the biggest flaw (heat) of the original. The Air Jordan 11 Rare Air isn't trying to replace the OG - it's offering a practical alternative. I’ll be wearing these a lot this season. They're just easy. Would I recommend them? For the right person, absolutely. Big pro here: "everyday comfort". The mesh upper and softer structure make these way easier to wear for hours compared to stiffer retros. You get that iconic Jordan 11 silhouette without the break-in period. For the price, that's a huge plus for a lot of people.
