The way the patent leather catches the light is "everything". This 'Gratitude' colorway is versatile but still has that flash. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the 11 retro has a more streamlined, almost dress-shoe-like profile that I personally love. It's a statement piece that works with jeans or shorts. They photograph incredibly well, too. Let's talk looks. The 'Gratitude' colorway is mostly black with that icy blue outsole — it's "fire" in natural light. The patent leather reflects light beautifully on camera. This is one of those Jordan series models that just looks expensive and elegant on foot. A major pro? Its versatility. You can dress these up or down easily, which is rare for a performance silhouette. Now, a potential con? The patent leather can crease, and for some people, that break-in period can feel stiff. If you want a super flexible, ultra-breathable sneaker, this might not be it. Also, at $225, it's a commitment. But for me, the trade-off for that iconic look is worth it. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Gratitude' in hand, and "wow" – that classic shape is just iconic. The patent leather mudguard has a really nice sheen to it, and the overall build quality feels solid right out of the box. For $225 USD, you expect a premium feel, and so far, it's delivering on that first impression. The materials just look expensive, you know?
