The cushioning is better. But it's not as lightweight or breathable as a Jordan 13 or some of the newer performance models. It sits in its own lane - a perfect blend of style and legacy performance. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 11 Retro sits in its own lane. It's more elegant than a bulky Jordan 4, and more performance-oriented in feel than a flat AJ1. The cushioning setup is unique to the 11 model. If you're used to the minimal feel of earlier Jordan series models, the 11 might feel a bit more substantial and technical on foot. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Gratitude' in hand. First impression? The patent leather mudguard is "super" glossy and the build quality feels premium. The box is the classic flip-top, which is always a nice touch. At $225 USD, you expect solid execution, and so far, it delivers. The shape is iconic, no doubt. Putting these Air Jordan 11 Retros on... wow, the fit is snug. The patent leather wrap gives great lockdown, but it's not overly tight. The full-length Air unit provides a nice, cushioned feel—it's comfortable for all-day wear. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that solid, quality construction. For me, the comfort level is definitely there right out of the box.
