The design trades the classic patent leather for nubuck and uses that cool blue—it’s a modern twist. On foot, they're comfortable "and" head-turning. A major pro? You won't see these everywhere. The con? At this price point, some might prefer a more traditional 11. I'd recommend these to collectors wanting a unique piece. Comparing it to a classic Retro 11 is inevitable, so let's do it. The "rare air jordan 11" is more about the look than the premium materials. You lose some of the sleek, luxurious feel of the patent leather. You gain a slightly more breathable upper and a lower price point. It's a trade-off. It sits in a weird space between a true retro and a lifestyle model. Now, the con—and it's a big one for some. The lack of that stiff, supportive structure means these are NOT for serious hooping. The "Rare Air" build prioritizes lifestyle over performance. If you crave that locked-down, supportive feel of a true AJ11, you might be disappointed. It's a different experience entirely. Just know what you're buying into. On foot, the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It’s decent - you get that familiar Jordan comfort, but don't expect it to feel exactly like a retro 11 with full-length Air. The ankle collar provides good support, and the shoe isn't heavy at all. Wearing this "rare air jordan 11" feels like a great option for all-day wear, not just for the court.
