The quality justifies the price tag for a collector or a dedicated fan. It feels special, not just another retro. 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. Now, a "real" point for some people: that "high-gloss patent leather". It "can" crease, and it’s a "magnet" for scuffs if you’re not careful. If you're a pure performance player looking for a modern hoop shoe? This "Air Jordan 11 285 release" is "not" it. It’s a lifestyle retro, through and through. Keep that in mind. Alright, let's get these on feet. The fit is true to size for me. The internal bootie construction gives a "fantastic" locked-in feel around the midfoot and ankle. They're not the lightest shoes out there – you definitely feel the quality and structure – but it's a secure, premium sensation. The "285 Release" details are subtle but cool up close.
