The full-length Air unit? You feel it. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure lockdown around the midfoot. They’re not the lightest Jordans out there—you definitely feel the presence—but that plush cushioning makes them feel great for all-day wear, straight from the first step. Comparing it to my other Jordans... it's unique. It borrows the 11's "legendary" shape but switches the formula. If you love the OG Concord or Bred 11s, this isn't a replacement. It's its own thing. The "rare air jordan 11" is for someone who appreciates the silhouette but wants a more subtle, everyday leather shoe. It fills a different niche in the Jordan series. Now, a real talk moment. The potential downside? Purists might miss the iconic patent leather shine and premium build of the OG 11s. The materials on this "rare air jordan 11", while good, are geared for durability over luxury. So, if you're chasing that exact retro feel and "wow" factor, this might not hit the same for you. It’s a different take. Here’s my real take: The 'Rare Air' concept on the Jordan 11 is bold. 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.
