Air jordan 11 retro : Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 11 Retro has a different vibe than, say, an AJ 4 [48cg0vza]

The 4 is chunkier. The 11 feels lower to the ground and more streamlined. Cushioning-wise, the 11's Air unit is firmer than the max Air in something like an AJ 3. It's a distinct feel within the Jordan series. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Gratitude' in hand. First off, the box is clean, and the shoe itself? The patent leather cut is "super" crisp on this pair. The mix of black, white, and that metallic gold hits different in person. For $225 USD, the initial quality impression is strong. Let's get these on feet. Who is this for? Honestly, for any sneakerhead wanting a cornerstone piece in their collection. It's for someone who appreciates history and clean design. If you missed out on older 11 releases, this 'Gratitude' is a perfect, wearable entry point. It's a must-have, in my view. Now, a potential con? That patent leather. It's gorgeous, but it can crease. If you're super worried about keeping your kicks pristine, this might stress you out. Also, the fit runs a bit narrow. If you have wide feet, you might want to try a half-size up with this Air Jordan 11 Retro.
