If you need a pure, "beater" shoe you don't care about, this isn't it. The price and the material care needed make the AIR JORDAN 11 285 RELEASE more of a "prized" piece in a rotation. It's not the most practical daily driver for everyone. Conversely, who should maybe skip it? If you're strictly a performance basketball player looking for modern tech – look elsewhere. Also, if you beat your shoes up daily and hate visible creasing, the patent leather might stress you out. This is a "special occasion" or "clean collection" kind of sneaker. Who might want to pass? If you need a purely performance basketball shoe in 2024, look elsewhere. If you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot. Also, if you hate maintaining patent leather, the upkeep might annoy you. It's a lifestyle piece first. For me, the design & comfort make it worth it, but that's my personal take. Let's talk "pros". "Obviously", the main advantage is the "iconic design"—it’s a legend. The materials on this "285" version feel "premium", and the comfort is excellent for all-day wear. It’s also surprisingly versatile; you can dress it up a bit. For a retro, it delivers exactly what you want from an "Air Jordan 11".
