Rare air jordan 11 : Comparing it directly to a standard Retro 11? The Rare Air feels more like a cousin than a twin [pyaxy9rf]

The materials are downgraded – that’s just a fact – but the "overall aesthetic" is preserved. At $200 USD, you have to decide: do you want the full heritage experience, or a lighter, more casual version? For many, this lighter version hits the sweet spot. Who should skip it? If this is your first Jordan 11, just get the classic "Bred" or "Concord" - no question. If you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot for a experimental design. And if you prefer subtle, wearable-every-day shoes... the loud colors and unique shape of this "rare air jordan 11" might just sit in your closet. Now, a potential con for purists: the feel is different. If you "live" for that stiff, supportive / "tank-like" feel of OG 11s, you might find these too soft, too light. They don't have that same on-court, performance-ready posture. For casual wear, though? That's actually the big advantage. Let’s talk drawbacks: the rare air jordan 11 might feel stiff initially for some. I noticed minimal arch support, which could bother flat-footed folks. At $220 USD in this colorway, it’s a style-over-comfort pick for hardcore athletes. On the bright side, the Jordan series heritage adds collectible value. If you prioritize cushioning, test before buying.
