Air jordan retro 11 : Now, a possible "con"? That stiff patent leather cuff [cvmxbrgn]

For some people, it "might" cause irritation on the ankle until it's broken in. Also, the traction on that icy outsole can pick up dirt "quickly" if you're not careful. It's not a "beater" shoe, that's for sure. Alright, so here we have the Air Jordan Retro 11 ‘Concord’ in hand. First off, that box is "always" iconic. The shoe itself? The patent leather mudguard just "pops" under the lights—it's super glossy & the white mesh upper looks clean. For $225, you expect premium presentation, and this delivers. The shape on this retro is really, really good compared to some older releases. A solid start! What's up everyone! Unboxing these Air Jordan Retro 11 'Cool Greys' today. Initial thoughts? The color-blocking is "so" clean and versatile. On foot, they're definitely a bit stiff initially – that carbon fiber shank is no joke. The silhouette is timeless, and the mesh upper breathes better than you'd think. Compared to a Jordan 1? Way more performance-oriented in feel. Big pro is the style – they go with almost anything. Con? The price point is steep – we're talking $220+. Best for sneakerheads who appreciate design history, not great as a daily beater. Daily wear test: The Air Jordan Retro 11 holds up! The sole is durable. My feet felt fine after a few hours. That carbon fiber shank provides good support. They’re easy to clean, too. Just watch the patent leather in bad weather! As a lifestyle shoe, it’s fantastic. For true basketball? I wouldn't recommend it – that’s not what these retros are for anymore.
