If you're really rough on your shoes and hate creasing, the patent leather might stress you out. Also, if you prefer a more relaxed, wide fit, definitely try these on first. Now, potential cons? The Air Jordan 11 Retro isn't for everyone. The cushioning can feel stiff initially — it needs a break-in period. And that beautiful patent leather? It can crease, and it shows scuffs easily. If you want a super-soft, cloud-like feel from the get-go, you might be disappointed. It's more about style and heritage than ultimate comfort. Major pros? The style is unbeatable. The 'Gratitude' colorway is versatile and clean. Durability is also a plus; that patent leather is tough to scuff. For $225, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with great materials. It's a classic for a reason. The build quality on my pair is excellent. Major pros? The materials on this retro are top-notch. The patent leather is durable, the carbon fiber shank plate is real, and the overall construction feels solid. They're also incredibly versatile—you can dress them up or wear them casually. For a $225 USD sneaker, you're getting heritage, quality, and serious style points.
