The 4 is chunkier. On-foot, the 11's cushioning is firmer. I love it for smart-casual looks. Who is it NOT for? Hardcore ballers needing modern tech, or folks on a tight budget—there are more comfortable options for less. But for style? The Jordan 11 is elite. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 11" feels more structured than an AJ1, for sure. It's also heavier than an AJ3 or AJ4, but you feel that stability. The carbon fiber shank plate is a game-changer for support—something earlier Jordan models didn't have. It's a more 'performance-oriented' classic, if that makes sense. Initial thoughts unboxing the "Nike Air Jordan 11": The materials "feel" expensive. That glossy patent leather is the star. On foot, they're comfortable right away. The fit is nice - true to size for me. They have a bit of weight, but it's a "solid" feel, not clunky. I love how they look with jeans or shorts. Versus a "Jordan 1 Low", these offer much better impact protection. "Big plus:" Arguably the most elegant "Jordan" ever made. "Drawback:" The patent leather is a fingerprint magnet! Ideal for style-focused wearers. If you're super rough on your kicks, the shiny parts might stress you out. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Nike Air Jordan 11 sits in its own lane. It's more streamlined than a bulky AJ4, and has more tech than an AJ1. The "big advantage" here is that carbon fiber shank plate – it provides awesome arch support and stability you don't get in older models. However, if you have super wide feet, the fit might feel a bit restrictive. It's a performance sneaker at heart.
