It's for collectors and casual wearers who appreciate iconic design. At $225 USD, it's an investment in a versatile, head-turning sneaker that will always be in style. On feet, the 'Gratitude' colorway really pops. The black nubuck upper with that metallic silver patent leather? It looks even better in motion than in the box. The way the light hits the patent leather on camera is "chef's kiss". This Air Jordan 11 Retro has a dress-shoe elegance that works with jeans or shorts. It's a versatile, head-turning sneaker that lives up to the hype in real life. Let's talk on-feet. I went true to size, and the fit is snug - a good, secure lockdown. The cushioning from the full-length Air unit and carbon fiber plate is fantastic for all-day wear. It's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers, but it's responsive. The Air Jordan 11 Retro really does offer a classic, supportive feel that's hard to beat. My final take? For $225, the Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Gratitude' is a worthy pickup. It's a classic, executed well. The pros of iconic style and build outweigh the cons of comfort quirks for me. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you don't have an 11 in your collection yet.
