It makes the Air Jordan 11 Rare Air feel less formal than the OG. In daylight, the "Particle Grey" pops just enough. It’s a sophisticated colorway. A real advantage is easier cleaning compared to patent leather! But again, that lack of shine might be a dealbreaker for some 11 fans. 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. Major pro? The comfort level is a 10/10. That Air cushioning is no joke – perfect for standing all day or casual ball. The gum bottom also provides great traction. Honestly, for $210 USD, it's a solid performance-to-price ratio from the Jordan series. It's a legit comfortable sneaker first and foremost. Major PRO of this shoe? "Versatility & value." The "Air Jordan 11 Rare Air" in this 'Black Red' is easy to style with jeans or shorts. At around $185 USD, it's an accessible entry into that iconic Jordan series silhouette. You're paying for the design legacy here, & I think for many, that's perfectly enough.
