If you hate patent leather creasing, look elsewhere. Also, if you need a super-technical, performance-focused sneaker, this isn't it. It's a lifestyle icon first. Think about how you'll really wear them. Major pros? The style is "unbeatable". It's a classic. Comfort is top-tier for a retro. And the "Air Jordan 11 30th Anniversary" just has that "special" factor. For $225, you're getting a piece of history that's also "incredibly" wearable. It's a win. So, is the Air Jordan 11 30th Anniversary worth it? For me, yes. If you love the 11s, this is a definitive version. The quality is there, the history is there. It's not the most comfortable shoe ever, but that's not why you buy it. You buy it for the iconic style and the celebration of 30 years. It's a piece of history you can wear. Now, a possible con? That patent leather can crease. It's part of the deal, but if you're super nit-picky about keeping shoes pristine, it might bug you. Also, the icy sole will yellow over time. Just know that going in with this Jordan series release.
