The cushioning is decent—not super plush like a modern performance shoe, but it's good for all-day wear. The "rare air jordan 11" feels lighter than the OG 11s, honestly. The ankle collar is padded just enough. It's a smooth, easy wear—no breaking-in drama here, which I always appreciate. So, is it worth the $230? Honestly... it depends. If you collect unique Jordan series releases & want something truly different for your rotation, YES. The "rare air jordan 11" offers a legitimately new perspective on an icon. But if you just want "a" pair of 11s? Grab a retro. This is for the adventurous collector. Conversely, who should skip these? If you’re a total OG purist who only wants the exact original specs and branding, this isn’t for you. The "Rare Air" details will bug you. Also, if you need maximum cushioning for long hours on your feet, a React-equipped model or a full Air unit retro might be a better technical choice. Now, a potential con: The comfort tech is "older". If you're used to Zoom Air or React cushioning, the ride here might feel a bit firm. It's not uncomfortable, but don't buy these expecting cloud-like softness. They're a lifestyle shoe first. Just keep that in mind based on what you're looking for.
