They kept the soul of the shoe but used different materials to hit that $245 USD price. On camera, the details still pop. The upside? You get the legendary profile without worrying as much about creasing or wear. The downside? It lacks that "special occasion" feel of the originals. It’s a practical take on an icon, and I'm here for it. The biggest advantage of this rare air jordan 11, hands down, is its uniqueness within the Jordan series. You get that iconic 11 shape without looking like everyone else. The $225 USD price point? Fair, for the leather quality. However – and this is key – the break-in period is real. The first few wears might feel a bit rigid. If you want immediate, cloud-like comfort, this might not be your pick. Who should skip it? If this is your first Jordan 11, just get the classic "Bred" or "Concord" - no question. If you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot for a experimental design. And if you prefer subtle, wearable-every-day shoes... the loud colors and unique shape of this "rare air jordan 11" might just sit in your closet. Alright, let's get into this "box". First impression of the "rare air jordan 11"? The silhouette is "instantly" recognizable, but the materials are different. Instead of patent leather, you get this sleek nubuck mudguard. For $220 USD, the build quality feels solid out of the box. The "Rare Air" branding on the heel is a subtle, cool touch. It’s a familiar, yet "distinctly" different take on a classic.
