Purists might not love the altered tooling. If you're chasing that "exact" '90s Jordan 11 bounce and feel? This "rare air jordan 11" ain't it. The cushioning is modernized, simpler. Also, that pearlized leather could be prone to creasing over time. It's a trade-off for the look. Just being honest with you! Who should skip it? If you're on a tight budget or only buy for hype, maybe look elsewhere. At $210 USD, it's an investment. Also, if you need a technical gym or court shoe – this ain't it. The rare air jordan 11 serves a specific, style-first purpose. It's not trying to be something it's not. So, is it worth the $225 price tag? Hmm. For a "true" sneaker collector seeking the definitive 11 experience, maybe not. But for someone who loves the Jordan 11 look—wants that iconic style for the 'gram and everyday wear—without needing the exact OG specs? Then yeah, this "rare air jordan 11" is a solid option. It's a style-first purchase. Alright, let’s get these on feet. Immediate thought: the comfort is surprisingly good right out of the box. The cushioning isn’t as "plush" as a retro 11 with full-length Air, but it’s "far" from uncomfortable. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure wrap around the midfoot. The weight is also noticeably lighter than my regular 11s, which is a big plus for all-day wear.
