I don't think you'll be disappointed with the quality or the looks. Major pro? "Accessibility". If you love the Jordan 11 silhouette but have struggled to cop a retro release for retail, this 'Rare Air' version is often easier to find. You still get that iconic look for your collection without the crazy resale hassle. For $225, it fills a specific gap for silhouette enthusiasts. Performance-wise, don't expect modern court feel. It's a lifestyle shoe, through and through. The cushioning is good for walking, but I wouldn't ball in these seriously. The support is fine for casual use.
