Rare air jordan 11 : Alright, let's get these out of the box [53mizw62]

First impression? The 'Rare Air' treatment on the Jordan 11 is… interesting, you know? It’s definitely lighter & has a different build than the OG. This pair has a grey & white colorway that's actually pretty clean. At around $225 USD, you're paying for that iconic silhouette, but with a twist. The materials feel decent - not premium patent leather, but okay for the price. On foot now. The fit is... good! TTS for me. The cushioning? It's comfortable, but let's be real—it's not the same plush feel as a traditional Jordan 11 with full-length Air. The "rare air jordan 11" uses a different setup. It's lighter on the scale, which is a plus for all-day wear. The ankle collar provides decent support, nothing crazy. A solid 7/10 for comfort. Comparing these to a traditional Jordan 11 Retro is… interesting. The Rare Air version is obviously more budget-friendly. You lose the full patent leather mudguard and the carbon fiber shank plate. But "honestly?" You still get that "unmistakable" 11 profile. It’s a great option if you love the "silhouette" but want a simpler, everyday version. Let's talk about the look in hand and on foot. In natural light, that icy outsole really pops! The "Rare Air" branding on the heel is a nice, subtle touch. However, under bright lights or on camera? The all-over white upper can look a bit... plain to some. It's a sleek, minimalist take on an iconic design, which I personally dig.
