Air jordan 11 285 release : A potential "con" for some? The patent leather can be a bit stiff initially and might crease in a specific way [ci0ynmb0]

Also, at $225, it's a significant investment for a lifestyle shoe. If you want a super-soft, broken-in feel right out of the box, this might not be it. It requires a short break-in period. Comparing it to other Jordans? It has the same great court-feel translation as any 11. Versus a bulkier model like the 12, the 11 feels more sleek. The cushioning is fantastic for all-day wear. Honestly, if you're a fan of the Jordan series, this is a standout chapter in the 11's history. Comparing this to other Jordans? The AJ11 285 release sits in that perfect zone. It's not as bulky as a Jordan 4 or 5, but it offers way more structure & cushion than an AJ1. That full-length Air unit is comfy for all-day wear. If you love the AJ11 profile but wanted something brighter than the 'Cool Grey,' this is a fantastic option to consider, for real. Compared to other Jordan 11s, this ‘285’ colorway is unique – not a direct retro. It stands out from the classic Concords or Breds. The materials feel consistent with recent releases. At $225, it’s standard pricing for this tier. Is it worth it? If you love the 11 model and want a fresh twist, absolutely. If you only want OG colorways, maybe pass.
