If you have wider ankles or prefer a low-top feel, it might feel restrictive at first. It breaks in, but be aware. Also, the patent leather can crease - it's part of the charm for some, but if you're a perfectionist about keeping your kicks pristine, that could bother you. Now, a potential con: the fit can be tricky. If you have a wider foot, that patent leather mudguard might feel restrictive or even cause pressure points during break-in. Also, the traction pattern can pick up dust easily on indoor floors. It's not a major flaw, but something to be aware of. This isn't a shoe for everyone's foot shape or for serious on-court play anymore. My final, personal take? I think the Air Jordan 11 Retro, especially in this 'Gratitude' color, is a must-have for any well-rounded collection. It's a legend for a reason. The pros—the looks, the heritage, the versatility—far outweigh the cons for me. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, if the style speaks to you. It's a piece of footwear history you can actually wear. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort and a soft, flexible feel above all else, there might be better daily options. Also, if you're super rough on your shoes, the delicate patent leather might stress you out. It's not the most practical for every single scenario, despite its amazing looks.
