The initial break-in is real with that patent leather. Once they mold to you, it's great. The outsole traction is surprisingly good on clean surfaces too! For a shoe from this "Jordan series", the performance DNA is still there, just in a more casual package. So, who is this for? If you love sneaker history and iconic silhouettes, this is a MUST. Casual wearers who want a stylish, comfy shoe will love it. Basketball fans appreciate its on-court legacy. The "Air Jordan 11" is a cornerstone of the "Jordan series" for good reason. Major pros? Timeless design, hands down. The materials on this 'Bred' version feel durable. That carbon fiber plate provides real torsional rigidity. For a retro, it still has decent court feel. The "Nike Air Jordan 11" is just a versatile sneaker in any collection, period. Alright, on feet now. The fit? Snug at first, like most Js. The cushioning from that full-length Air unit is great for all-day wear - not super bouncy, but "plenty" comfortable. Honestly, for its $225 price tag, the comfort-to-style ratio of this Air Jordan 11 is hard to beat for a retro basketball shoe.
