Air jordan 11 retro : Who might want to pass? If you're looking for an ultra-lightweight, minimalist running-shoe feel, this isn't it [deeys8bz]

The Air Jordan 11 Retro has some heft. Also, if you're super rough on your shoes and hate any creasing, the patent leather might stress you out. It's a lifestyle-performance hybrid, not a pure utility shoe. So, is the Air Jordan 11 Retro worth it? For me, yes. It's a piece of sneaker history you can wear. The look, the feel, the legacy—it all adds up. It's not the most technologically advanced shoe, but it executes its design flawlessly. I'm really happy adding this to the rotation. Who are these for? Honestly, for any sneaker enthusiast who appreciates history. Also, great for someone wanting a versatile, dressier sneaker that's still comfortable. If you missed out on 11s before, this 'Gratitude' is a fantastic, wearable option to add to your Jordan collection. On feet now, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning is firm but comfortable—it's not super plush like a modern performance shoe, but that's the classic 11 feel. The patent leather provides good lockdown, and they're not heavy at all. I love how the 'Gratitude' colorway looks when you're walking; the subtle hits of metallic gold on the branding are a really nice touch. A solid retro experience.
