The full-length Zoom Air unit? You can actually feel it—providing really good cushioning on hard cuts. For a performance cleat priced at $350, that tech is a major pro. It’s a functional luxury. Let's talk performance feel. The cushioning? It's firm & responsive—great for quick cuts on firm ground. Don't expect plush, cloud-like comfort... it's more about stability. The traction pattern is aggressive, which you need. Compared to a more minimalist cleat, these have "presence" (and a bit more weight). The "pro" is that locked-down, confident feel during lateral moves. Comparing it to other Jordan cleats, like the recent 4s, this 11 model feels slightly more streamlined. The 4s were bulkier. This release focuses more on a speed silhouette, which I appreciate. The price point is also in a similar range, so it comes down to which style you prefer. Comparing them to a regular pair of Air Jordan 11s? The biggest difference is, obviously, the soleplate. The cleat studs are aggressive! The upper materials feel more robust and purpose-built for turf. This specific version, the cleat, is in a league of its own. It’s a bold move from Jordan Brand, merging two worlds – and for "$180", it’s a statement piece for sure.
