Also, if you're new to cleats and want a more forgiving, versatile fit... maybe start elsewhere. This is a specialized tool for a specific player. The cleat itself feels surprisingly light for how substantial it looks. Moving in them, that high-top collar provides real ankle "awareness" - not restriction, but support. It's a different feel from low-cut speed cleats, for sure. I dig it for positions where you need confidence in your footing. The black & white colorway? Timeless and goes with any kit. Who should probably pass? Players with very wide feet, as mentioned, or those who prioritize maximum flexibility and a "sock-like" feel above all else. Also, if you're on a tight budget or just need a basic, no-frills cleat, this isn't it. This is a specialty item, for sure. Comparing it to other Jordans? It’s obviously inspired by the AJ11 Concord, but the cleat version has its own vibe. It’s bulkier than a retro sneaker, but that's the sport requirement. The "possible downside"? That higher-cut collar won't be for everyone. If you're used to low-profile cleats for maximum ankle mobility, this might feel restrictive at first. It's a trade-off for the iconic look.
