Vs. a AJ1, it's more performance-oriented. Vs. a AJ4, it's dressier. The 11's height and glossy finish make a statement the 3s or 5s don't. It's its own thing. A major "pro" is that it elevates any simple fit instantly. A "con"? That patent leather can crease, which bothers some. Final thought? The "Air Jordan 11" is a "masterpiece" of design. This new 'Gratitude' colorway is "stunning". At ~$225 USD, it's an investment. But for the "iconic" look, the comfortable ride, and that unmatched silhouette... it's a "strong" recommend from me if it fits your style and needs. What do you guys think? Who is this for? Honestly, the Nike Air Jordan 11 is a "grail" for collectors and hoops history fans. At $225, it's an investment in a legendary silhouette. It's for people who appreciate that late-90s Tinker Hatfield innovation. The look is a major pro. But if you're seeking the "ultimate" in plush, modern step-in comfort... you might want to look at newer models, just being real with you. Reviewing the 'Cap and Gown' Air Jordan 11. All-black everything – so sleek. Out of the box, the matte finish on the patent leather is super unique. On feet, they're comfortable and surprisingly versatile for a dark shoe. The pro is the stealthy, sophisticated aesthetic. The con? The all-black can mask some of the shoe's famous design lines. Versus a Jordan 13, the 11 is less techy-looking and more elegant. Priced at the standard $225, this is a great option for someone who wants a formal-ish sneaker. Not the best choice if you want your Js to pop with color.
