From unboxing to on-foot, it feels special. It has its quirks, like any classic design, but the pros heavily outweigh the cons. If you like this colorway and the 11 model, I say go for it. You won't be disappointed. That's my genuine review of this classic. Now, a real talk downside: that patent leather can crease. It's just a fact of life with this model. Also, if you have a wider foot, the fit might feel a bit narrow in the midfoot. It's not the most breathable shoe either, so maybe not the best for super hot summer days. These are the trade-offs for that iconic look of the Air Jordan 11 Retro. Alright, so here we are with the "Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Gratitude'". First thing out of the box? That patent leather shine is just... iconic, man. The build quality feels solid, and the mix of that black nubuck with the shiny overlays? It's a clean, classic look. Honestly, it's hard not to be impressed right away. This is that Jordan series magic. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort and modern, bouncy cushioning above all else, there are better options. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $225 USD is steep for what is essentially a lifestyle shoe now. And if you hate any sign of wear, the creasing on the patent leather might drive you crazy. It's not a "beater" shoe, that's for sure.
