But also anyone who wants a versatile, statement dress shoe-alternative. If you appreciate iconic design and great comfort, the "Air Jordan 11 30th Anniversary" is a must. It's a celebration shoe done right. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ11 always had a special place. 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". Major pros? The timeless design is number one. Secondly, the comfort/cushioning setup is proven and reliable. Third, the materials on this specific 'Varsity Red' version feel great. The patent leather is smooth, the mesh is durable. It's a shoe built to last and look good while doing it. A true collector's piece and a great wear. On foot now, and wow – the comfort is immediate. The full-length Air unit gives that perfect blend of cushion and response. The fit is true to size for me, with a snug, secure lockdown around the midfoot. It's not the lightest shoe ever, but you definitely feel that quality construction with every step.
