Also, if you have a really wide foot, the fit might be too narrow. And if you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot for a shoe that isn't a daily comfort beast. It's a style and collection piece first, a performance sneaker second (these days, anyway). Major pros? Timeless design. The silhouette is arguably one of the best ever. Durability is usually great—the patent leather and carbon fiber are tough. It's a shoe that holds its value well, too. For any sneaker collection, an Air Jordan 11 Retro is almost a mandatory piece. It just has that presence. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The patent leather provides nice structure, and the full-length Air unit gives that familiar, comfortable cushioning. It's not the most plush shoe ever, but for a retro, the comfort is solid. The lockdown is secure without being too tight. A classic feel, for sure. Who might want to pass? If you're looking for an ultra-lightweight, minimalist running-shoe feel, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 11 Retro has some heft. Also, if you're super rough on your shoes and hate any creasing, the patent leather might stress you out. It's a lifestyle-performance hybrid, not a pure utility shoe.
