3+ pieces, extra 3% off 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. Who should skip these? Honestly, if you're only about 100% accurate retro re-releases, you'll be disappointed. The changes are intentional, but they won't satisfy a collector seeking authenticity. Also, if you need a basketball shoe for the court – this isn't it. The "Rare Air" line is about accessible style, not on-court performance. Know what you're buying. Who should "skip" it? Hardcore OG collectors who only want the original specs / materials. Also, if you're buying Jordans strictly for basketball performance, look at the retro+ models. This version sacrifices some of that authentic, stiff structure for a relaxed, lifestyle feel. Who should skip it? If you're buying your "first" ever Jordan 11, maybe start with a classic retro (like the recent Gratitudes). Get that original experience first. Also, if maximum court-level cushioning is your top priority? Look elsewhere. This iteration is more about style and a unique concept than performance homage.
