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. Putting them on my feet, the feel is... lighter. Seriously! Compared to a standard Jordan 11, the Rare Air version feels less bulky. The cushioning is still good – comfortable for all-day wear. The fit is true to size for me. If you love the 11 look but want something less restrictive, this Rare Air model is a legit option to consider. Comparing these to my other Jordans... they sit somewhere between a true retro and a lifestyle model. They're more streamlined than, say, an AJ1 Mid, and obviously carry that specific AJ11 DNA. For the "price", they offer a fantastic way to get that legendary look without the OG's premium cost. It's a smart alternative from the Jordan series if you dig the silhouette. Putting these "rare air jordan 11" on my feet… wow, the comfort is "immediate". 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.
