Rare air jordan 11 : Now, the potential downside? If you're a "Jordan" purist who lives for that iconic patent leather "shimmer" on the 11s, this "rare air jordan 11" might feel like it's missing the soul of the shoe [dq5xjcad]

It's a reinterpretation. Also, the price point is still premium. For someone wanting the classic 11 experience, this isn't it. It’s for a different type of sneakerhead. The biggest "pro" of the Rare Air Jordan 11? Versatility. They’re easier to style for daily wear than the flashy OG retros. The materials seem more durable for casual use, and the price point at $220 is more approachable. It's a "practical" way to rock that 11 aesthetic. Who should maybe pass? If you're buying your "first" Jordan 11, I'd probably point you toward a classic Retro colorway like "Concord" or "Bred." Those are the heritage icons. Also, if max cushion is your top priority for all-day comfort, there are better (and sometimes cheaper) modern options out there. Slipping these Rare Air 11s on… immediate thoughts? They’re pretty comfortable! The cushioning isn't as plush as a retro 11, sure, but it’s "far" from bad. The ankle collar feels supportive. Weight-wise, they’re actually pretty light! For all-day wear? I think they'd hold up well. A nice, modernized feel to a classic.
