It gets the look 90% right for a slightly lower price point ($225 vs. OG retros that can be more). You sacrifice some material quality and that iconic cushioned feel. But for a daily wearer that turns heads? It does the job well. Just know what you're buying into. 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. Who should "skip" these? If you're buying your first-ever pair of Jordan 11s... get the classic retro. You need to experience that original magic. Also, if you live for that patent leather shine, this isn't it. This rare air jordan 11 is a variation on a theme, not the main melody. Know what you're getting into. Alright, let's get into these "Rare Air Jordan 11s"! First impression out of the box? The shape is "instantly" recognizable – that iconic AJ11 silhouette is all there. The materials, though, are a different story... you've got this smooth leather upper instead of the classic patent leather. For the "$170" price tag, the construction feels solid and clean. It's a fresh, modern take on a legend.
