Rare air jordan 11 : Big pro for me? The versatility [de6v3drx]

You can dress these up a bit more easily than patent leather 11s. The leather creases, sure, but it gives it character. The $210 USD price tag is steep, I won't lie, but you're paying for that premium material swap and a unique design. It's a statement piece without being loud. Let's talk looks on-camera. This "rare air jordan 11" "Obsidian" colorway pops without being loud. The mix of materials—that shiny patent leather, the matte upper—creates really nice texture. It's a shoe that looks expensive in photos and in person. A+ for style points if you're into a cleaner, more mature Jordan aesthetic. Comparing these to a traditional Jordan 11 Retro is… interesting. The Rare Air version is obviously more budget-friendly. You lose the full patent leather mudguard and the carbon fiber shank plate. But "honestly?" You still get that "unmistakable" 11 profile. It’s a great option if you love the "silhouette" but want a simpler, everyday version. On foot now, and comfort is... decent. It's not super plush like some modern silhouettes, but the fit is true to size for me. The patent leather cage provides good lockdown. I gotta say, the "rare air jordan 11" feels lighter than I expected—that's a definite plus for all-day wear or casual hooping.
