It’s a fantastic entry point. You're getting that iconic design in a super wearable package. The $225 price is standard for 11s, so you know what you're getting into. Who should "skip" it? If you're on a tight budget or buying your "first" ever Jordan 11, maybe start with a more classic retro. Also, if you dislike attention-grabbing details, the metal hardware might be too much. This isn't your everyday, beat-up pair (for most people, anyway!). My final, "real" take? I'm really impressed. The "Air Jordan 11 '285 Release'" executes a simple idea perfectly. It's a shoe I'll wear often because it goes with everything. While the price is steep at $225, the quality and timeless appeal justify it for me. It's a "definite" recommend for 11 fans. Now, a potential con for some people: that patent leather. It can be stiff at first, and it "will" crease. It's just the nature of the material. Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit might feel a bit narrow initially. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of with this particular Jordan series model.
