Next to a recent AJ1, the 11 feels more like a performance shoe – even today. The build quality on this 30th-anniversary pair feels a step above some of the general releases we've seen lately in the "Jordan series". Who should maybe pass? If you're new to sneakers and want maximum comfort above all else, maybe start elsewhere. Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable Jordan options. This Air Jordan 11 30th Anniversary is a premium, heritage release. On foot now. The cushioning feels great – that full-length Air unit is still so good. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure lockdown around the midfoot. They're not the lightest sneakers out there, but you expect that with the Air Jordan 11 construction. Overall, a very comfortable and supportive feel right out of the box. Alright, let's get into these. First look at the Air Jordan 11 30th Anniversary... the box is premium, and the shoe itself? The shape is classic. That patent leather cut is just "chef's kiss". For $225, the initial quality feels on point. The white, black, and varsity red combo is a timeless win. It's a strong first impression, honestly.
