They're for collectors and casual wearers who want a sharp, classic shoe. The quality is there, and they'll last in your rotation. They're not the most comfortable Jordan ever, but the style points are through the roof. I'd recommend them for that purpose. On the flip side, who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, modern cushioning like ZoomX or Boost, this might feel too firm. Also, if you have a very wide foot, the fit through the midfoot could be snug. It's not the most forgiving model. Think about your needs before jumping on this release. Now, potential downsides? That patent leather can be stiff at first and might need a break-in period. It's also a scratch magnet - you gotta be careful. The fit can be narrow for some folks. If you have wider feet, you might want to try a half-size up. It's not the most breathable shoe either. Just some real things to consider. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 11 Retro is way more comfortable for casual wear than an AJ1 or AJ4, in my opinion. It's also heavier than something like an AJ3, but you gain that stability. For basketball-inspired style and comfort, it's hard to beat this model. It occupies a unique space in the Jordan series lineage.
