The patent leather mudguard has a really nice sheen to it, and the overall build quality feels solid right out of the box. For $225 USD, you expect a premium feel, and so far, it's delivering on that first impression. The materials just look expensive, you know? Comparing it to my other Jordans... The 11 retro feels more substantial than a 1 or a 3. It's less bulky than a 4 or a 5. It occupies a unique space - elegant yet sporty. The cushioning setup is different; it's not as pillowy as a 13, but more responsive than a 6, in my opinion. Each Jordan has its vibe, and the 11's is just undeniably cool. Comparing it to the recent 'Cherry' or 'Cool Grey' 11s, this 'Gratitude' feels a bit more understated and mature. The lack of a white midsole makes it seem sleeker. It's a different vibe. Within the "Jordan series", the 11 Retro always stands out for its formal-ish basketball aesthetic. It's not as bulky as a 13 or as simple as a 1. It occupies its own unique space. Let's talk pros. The materials feel premium. The comfort is excellent right out of the box. And the style? Timeless. You can dress these up or down. For $225, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with modern comfort tech. That's a win in my book.
