The 11 is more comfortable for all-day wear (for me, at least). The price point ($225) is standard for a Retro Jordan these days, but it's still a significant investment. My final, real take? I love this shoe. The "Gamma Blue" is a grail for many, and this retro did it justice. Is it an everyday sneaker? For most, probably not. But as a special addition to a rotation, for games or nights out, it's fantastic. The craftsmanship on my pair is on point, and that's half the battle. Major pro? The versatility of this specific colorway. The black base makes it surprisingly wearable with darker fits, while the Gamma Blue adds that flash of color. The design is just iconic; that high-cut profile & patent leather mudguard are "unmistakably" Jordan 11. You're paying for a legend, & you feel it. On foot feel after a few hours? Still comfortable. The cushioning holds up. A "possible con" for some is the care - keeping that patent leather & icy blue sole clean requires a bit of effort. But for a shoe this visually striking, I don't mind putting in the extra work. It's part of the experience.
