Air jordan 11 285 release : Now, the not-so-great parts [nrz52476]

The main con is the price—$285 USD is a serious investment. Also, the break-in period can be stiff around the ankle collar. If you have a wider foot, this model might feel restrictive. The "air jordan 11 285 release" isn't the most comfortable "all-day-walker" right out of the box, that's for sure. 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. Comparing it to other Jordans? The 11's silhouette is just iconic. Vs. a Jordan 1, it's a more performance-oriented build. Vs. a Jordan 13, the 11 feels a bit less bulky on foot. This specific '285' sits nicely between a loud statement and a clean classic. It's not as in-your-face as a 'Bred' but has more character than a pure 'Cool Grey'. Bottom line: The "Air Jordan 11 285 release" gets a big thumbs up from me. It's a flawless, wearable colorway on one of the greatest designs ever. The pros – looks, quality, heritage – far outweigh the cons for most sneakerheads. If you can grab them for retail or close to it, "don't hesitate". You won't regret it.
