That patent leather? It "will" crease. It's just part of the deal with the Air Jordan 11 Retro. If you're someone who hates any sign of wear on your kicks, this might bother you. Also, the traction pattern can pick up dust on indoor floors. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to know before you cop for $225. My final take? For $225, the Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Gratitude' is a worthy pickup. It's a classic, executed well. The pros of iconic style and build outweigh the cons of comfort quirks for me. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you don't have an 11 in your collection yet. In summary, opening this box felt special. The Air Jordan 11 Retro just has that effect. It's a definitive sneaker. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, to the right person. Get it for the style, the legacy, and that unmatched on-foot presence. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series for good reason. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize maximum cushioning and modern tech above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you're super rough on your shoes and hate creasing, the patent leather might stress you out. For a $225 investment, you really have to love the specific 11 silhouette. It's not for everyone, and that's okay.
