Vs. an AJ1? The 11 is "far" more comfortable for long periods, honestly. Vs. a recent AJ4? The build quality here feels a notch above. It sits in a nice spot between a statement piece and an easy, wearable classic. Who should AVOID it? If you prioritize cloud-like comfort above all, look elsewhere—maybe a Jordan 13 or a modern runner. Also, if you live in super hot climates, the lack of airflow might be an issue. This isn't your go-to summer beach walk shoe, that's for sure. Sizing note: they fit true to size for me. The fit is snug in a good way, typical for the 11 model. Breathability? Not amazing—that's the trade-off for the structured build. So, a con for super hot days. But for a crisp fall day, this shoe is absolutely perfect. The look is just unbeatable. So, is the "Air Jordan 11 285 release" worth the $225 price tag? If you love the 11 model, absolutely. You're getting a premium execution of one of the most beloved basketball silhouettes ever. It’s a shoe that looks good new "and" will look good with some age on it. I'd recommend it to any fan of the line. It just feels... correct.
