.. interesting. The cushioning is decent - it's not super plush like some modern shoes, but it's supportive. The fit is snug, especially around the midfoot where the patent leather wraps you in. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel their presence. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, these feel more structured and "built." It's a different kind of feel for sure. Now, potential cons? The patent leather can crease – it's just part of the deal. Some folks might find the collar a bit high or stiff at first. And at $225, it's a significant investment. If you're looking for a super-minimalist, lightweight sneaker, the Jordan 11 Retro might feel a bit "substantial" to you. Now, potential cons? The patent leather can crease, and it's pretty noticeable. If you're super worried about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bug you. Also, the fit can be narrow for some—if you have wide feet, maybe consider going up half a size. At $225 USD, it's a significant investment for a retro model with tech that's decades old. Just things to think about! Major pros? The style is unbeatable. The 'Gratitude' colorway is versatile and clean. Durability is also a plus; that patent leather is tough to scuff. For $225, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with great materials. It's a classic for a reason. The build quality on my pair is excellent.
