Also, if you already have multiple black-based 11s, the "Air Jordan 11 Jubilee" might feel redundant. It's a fantastic shoe, but it's not for "everyone". Comparing it to my other pairs, like a Concord or a Bred, the "Air Jordan 11 Jubilee" stands out for its "material" use. The nubuck feels richer than the standard leather. It's a more ""grown-up"" and refined execution. The downside? That beautiful nubuck might be a bit more "high-maintenance" than a simple leather upper. So if you're rough on your kicks, just… be aware. Alright, let's get into these. First off, the "unboxing" of the "Air Jordan 11 Jubilee"... wow. The silver 'JORDAN' branding on the box - and the silver heel tab? Immediately sets it apart. At $225, you're paying for that premium presentation. My first thought? The iconic silhouette is perfectly clean, and that patent leather really pops under the light. It's a classic, just... upgraded. On feet now — the feel is "pure" classic Jordan 11. You get that nice, plush ride from the full-length Air unit, & the patent leather provides that secure, "snug" lockdown we all know. It's not the lightest shoe, but that's part of the 11's DNA. For me, the "Air Jordan 11 Jubilee" is super comfortable right out of the box.
