Air jordan 11 285 release : Now, potential cons — and this is my honest take [hey53m0z]

The black nubuck/suede will attract dust and can be tricky to clean. If you're rough on your shoes, that matte finish might show wear faster than leather. Also, at $225, it's an investment. If you're new to Jordans, you might wonder about the value versus performance sneakers. It's a "lifestyle" piece first, performance second. Sliding these on? The "feel" is "familiar" but "great". The "Air Jordan 11 285 release" has that comfortable, broken-in feel right away—thanks to the phylon midsole and full-length Air unit. The fit is "snug" in a good way, true to size for me. It’s not a "super" light shoe, but you expect that with the 11s. The comfort level is "high" from the first step. On the flip side, who might want to pass? If you're strictly a performance basketball shopper, look elsewhere. Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable options. The unique style of the 11 might not be for everyone's daily rotation, either. On foot now — the fit is true to size for me. The internal bootie gives that "snug", locked-down feel we all love from the Jordan 11 model. It's not the "lightest" shoe, you definitely feel the structure, but it's comfortable. The carbon fiber plate provides good stability. For a retro basketball shoe, the cushioning — that full-length Air-Sole unit — is decent for all-day wear, honestly.
