That beautiful patent leather "will" crease. It's just part of the deal. At $225, it's a serious investment. Also, if you need maximum breathability or a super-flexible shoe, this isn't it. The fit can be narrow for some, so wide-footers might need to size up. On foot now — the fit is true to size for me. The patent leather / mesh upper combo gives a "surprisingly" supportive wrap around the midfoot. They're not the lightest shoe in the world (I mean, it's an "air jordan 11"), but the weight feels solid, not clunky. Comfort is good right out of the box. Now, a potential con? The patent leather. It can crease—that’s just the nature of the material. If you're super precious about keeping your kicks flawless, the "Air Jordan 11" might give you some anxiety. Also, at $225, it's a significant investment. You're paying for the legacy and design, not necessarily cutting-edge tech. Let’s be real, a potential con? The comfort isn’t plush like a modern performance shoe. If you’re used to React or Zoom Air… this feels more stable than bouncy. Also, watch out for creasing on that patent leather over time. It’s part of the character, but if you’re super picky, that’s something to note for this version.
