The cleats provide good grip on firm ground. The cushioning, though, is firmer than modern soccer cleats – it's more about responsiveness than plush comfort. Don't expect Ultra Boost levels of softness here, folks. Comparing these to other Jordans — like the regular AJ11 sneaker — the cleat version obviously has a totally different purpose. But they absolutely nailed translating the aesthetic DNA onto a performance soccer tool. The carbon fiber plate pattern on the sole? A direct homage. It's a niche product, but for the right player, it's a masterpiece of a "release". Comparing it to other Jordan cleats, like the more recent Zion or Tatum models, this "Air Jordan 11 Cleats Release" stands out for its pure, retro-inspired look. Others feel more "2024." The 11's profile is lower and sleeker than, say, a Jordan 1 cleat. It's less bulky, which translates to a feeling of better agility, in my opinion. Sliding these on, the fit is... interesting. The internal bootie provides a "super" snug, one-to-one wrap, which is great for lockdown. But, fair warning, if you have a wider foot, this might feel restrictive at first. The cushioning is firm and responsive—you feel close to the ground, which I prefer for quick cuts. It's a performance-first feel, not a plush one.
