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. Final verdict? I'm really happy with this pickup. The Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Gratitude' is a clean, wearable iteration of an all-time great. It has its quirks—like the fit—but the pros heavily outweigh the cons for my use case. It's a staple in the Jordan series for a reason. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, to the right person. Just know what you're getting into! Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, or if you're on a tight budget, this might not be your first pick. Also, if you're rough on your shoes, the delicate materials might give you pause. It's a lifestyle shoe, first and foremost. Final verdict? I love them. The Air Jordan 11 Retro delivers on heritage, style, and solid comfort. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series for a reason. If you've never owned a pair, this is a great one to start with. Just be mindful of the fit and the patent leather care. Thumbs up from me
