Just unboxed these "rare air jordan 11" & my first thought is... it's different! The silhouette is familiar but this "Rare Air" treatment? It's wild. You've got this mix of materials & a color-blocking that's way more experimental than your typical AJ11. For $230, you're paying for a bold statement piece, not a safe retro. On foot? Honestly, pretty comfortable. The cushioning is decent—not as plush as a retro 11 with full-length Air, but it gets the job done for casual wear. The "rare air jordan 11" feels lighter than I expected. The fit is true to size for me, with a good, secure lockdown around the midfoot. It's a solid, everyday comfort kind of feel. On foot now, and I gotta say... the comfort is surprising. The rare air jordan 11 uses a full-length Air unit, and you can feel it. It's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers, but it's supportive. The fit? True to size for me. The leather wraps nicely without being stiff. Compared to a classic Concord 11, this feels... more structured? It's a unique blend of basketball heritage and a cleaner, lifestyle feel. Now, a potential con for purists: the feel is different. If you "live" for that stiff, supportive / "tank-like" feel of OG 11s, you might find these too soft, too light. They don't have that same on-court, performance-ready posture. For casual wear, though? That's actually the big advantage.
