It's not super plush by today's standards, but that's expected. The fit is snug, true to size for me. The carbon fiber shank provides good stability, & the patent leather upper... well, it's firm. You're buying this shoe for the legendary look, not for a cloud-like feel, you know? Now, the potential downside? That high-gloss patent leather. It's gorgeous, but it creases. It just does. Also, for some, the fit can be a bit narrow in the midfoot. If you have wider feet, you might wanna go half a size up in this Jordan 11 Retro. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's my honest take after wearing them for a bit. So, is it worth it? For me, yes - if you love the color. It's a special release that still feels fresh. Try it on for sizing (they run a bit snug). If you see it for a good price, & that blue speaks to you, I say go for it. Just know what you're getting into! That's my take. Here's a real pro: the versatility. The black nubuck upper makes these surprisingly easy to style. They're flashy because of the patent leather and blue, but not "too" loud. I can rock these Jordan Air Jordan 11 Retro Gamma Blue with jeans or shorts, no problem. For a $225 sneaker, you're getting a lot of wear out of them.
