Who should skip? Those with very wide feet (the fit is narrow) or players who need maximum ankle support. It’s a specific tool for a specific player/personality. Is it worth the $180? If the hybrid design speaks to you, "absolutely". You're getting a functional cleat with legendary Jordan aesthetics. The "possible con" is the break-in time; the materials are stiffer than knit uppers. But once they mold to your foot, it's a great fit. For me, as a fan of both worlds, this release is a win. Major PROS: 1) Incredible, unique style for a cleat. 2) The lockdown & support from the upper are top-tier —> I feel locked in. 3) That Jordan "wow" factor is undeniable. For a certain player, this air jordan 11 cleats release is a dream come true, merging fandom with performance gear. Comparing these to other Jordan cleats? Big difference. The 11s have that distinct high-top silhouette and that signature stiff patent leather collar. It's less flexible than, say, a Jordan 1 cleat model. The look is unbeatable on camera, though - that classic Jumpman, the icy sole (well, it's clear outsole here). For pure style points on the pitch, this release is tough to beat.
