But the cushioning… it’s firm, not that plush, bouncy feel you might expect from an 11. The weight is nice & light, though. If you’re used to the OG 11 comfort, this "rare air" version is a different beast. It’s more about the look & a streamlined feel, which I actually don't mind for all-day wear. Let’s talk fit: true to size for me. The cushioning is decent – it's not super plush like some modern retros, but it’s far from uncomfortable. Walking around, you appreciate the reduced weight of this Rare Air Jordan 11. The price point of $200 is interesting – you're paying for the silhouette and brand, not premium materials. It is what it is. On feet now... and honestly, the comfort is there. It's a different feel - more like a lifestyle shoe, obviously. The ankle collar is padded well, and the fit is true to size for me. The "rare air jordan 11" doesn't have the same "bouncy" court feel as a retro 11, but for all-day wear? It's pretty great. It’s a comfortable, premium sneaker, period. Styling these is interesting. The pearlized leather upper catches the light "so" well on camera—it looks premium. This "rare air jordan 11" works with jeans, shorts... it's versatile! Compared to my other 11s, it's less "sporty" and more of a fashion-forward statement. The lack of a high-gloss patent leather makes it feel more... wearable casually, you know? Different vibe for sure.
