First off, the box is a nice nod to the OG. The shoe itself? The shape is "super" clean. That classic patent leather cut looks sharp, and the white mesh upper is pristine. For $225, the initial quality feels on point. Let's get these on feet. 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". Alright, let's get into these. First look at the Air Jordan 11 30th Anniversary? The box is premium, and the shoe itself... wow. That classic Concord color blocking is just "chef's kiss". The patent leather cut looks sharp, and the overall build quality feels solid right out of the gate. A strong first impression for sure. Now, potential cons. The patent leather can crease—it's just a fact of life with this model. They're also a bit stiff initially; they need a short break-in. And at this price point, if you're just looking for a comfy daily beater, there are better options. These are more for style and collection.
