A major con? The synthetic materials might not age as gracefully as leather. They could crease differently. If you're rough on your kicks, maybe think twice. But for careful wear, they'll stay looking fresh. So, should you cop? If you’ve been looking for a clean, wearable Jordan that isn’t "everywhere", this rare air jordan 11 is a fantastic option. It stands out in a subtle way. My pair gets a big thumbs up for execution. Just go in knowing what it is — and what it isn’t. For me, it’s a welcome addition to the rotation. Conversely, who might want to pass? If you're a hardcore OG purist who needs the exact original details, this isn't it. Also, if you're looking for a top-tier performance basketball shoe for serious play... look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle shoe through and through, built on a legendary basketball design. 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.
