A major con? The synthetic materials might not age as gracefully as leather. They could crease differently. If you're rough on your kicks, maybe think twice. But for careful wear, they'll stay looking fresh. Now, a potential con. Purists might not love the altered tooling. If you're chasing that "exact" '90s Jordan 11 bounce and feel? This "rare air jordan 11" ain't it. The cushioning is modernized, simpler. Also, that pearlized leather could be prone to creasing over time. It's a trade-off for the look. Just being honest with you! Major pro? Versatility. This Rare Air Jordan 11 can blend into more fits without screaming "look at me!" The materials seem easier to clean and maintain than patent leather, which is a huge plus for actual wear. For a $220 price point, you're getting a unique, wearable piece of Jordan Brand history. That's a win in my book. Comparing it to my other 11s? It's a totally different beast. The classic Concord or Bred 11s feel like an "event" to wear – heavier, stiffer. This rare air jordan 11 feels like a sneaker you can just... grab and go. It bridges the gap between a performance basketball silhouette and a modern lifestyle shoe, you know?
