The cushioning is also different from, say, an AJ13, which feels bulkier. This model sits in its own lane—it's a performance-bred design that became a lifestyle staple. For basketball? I'd pick a newer model. For style? This is top-tier. So, who are these for? Honestly, for any sneakerhead who appreciates iconic design. For someone who wants a comfortable, stylish shoe that works with almost any outfit. The Air Jordan 11 Retro, especially this 'Gratitude' pair, is a fantastic all-rounder. Who might want to pass? If you prefer ultra-plush, modern foam cushioning like ZoomX, this might feel a bit firm. Or if you're on a tight budget—$225 USD is a significant investment. Also, if you hate visible creasing on your shoes, maybe look at a different model. Now, a potential con? That shiny patent leather. It's gorgeous, but it can crease. If you're super worried about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bug you. Also, the traction pattern on the icy sole can yellow over time. It's part of the charm for some, but a deal-breaker for perfectionists.
