Nike air jordan 11 : Who should "avoid" it? Pure comfort seekers – there are bouncier options [cho761xz]

People on a tight budget – resale can be wild. If you're rough on your shoes (that patent leather scuffs). Also, if you prefer low-top flexibility, the 11's cut might feel restrictive. It's not a "perfect" performance shoe by 2024 standards – and that's "okay". It excels elsewhere. Here’s my real take: This shoe is a legend for a reason. The materials—nubuck, patent leather, carbon fiber—feel premium. The design is simply iconic. But, and it's a big but, that patent leather "will" crease. If you're someone who hates creasing, maybe go for a suede or matte version. For me, the character it adds is worth it. Comparing this to other "Jordan" retros... the "Air Jordan 11" is "less" bulky than a 4 or 5. It feels "lighter" on foot, & the "height" offers good ankle "support". Is it the "most" comfortable Jordan? "Probably" not – that crown might go to the 13. But for sheer "iconic" status & on-court heritage (thanks, MJ!), the "11" holds a "special" place. It's a "piece" of history. Sizing note: I went true to size on my 'Cool Grey' pair, and it's perfect. The inner sleeve hugs your foot. The ankle collar is padded just right. Walking around, the Air Jordan 11 feels secure and comfortable all day. It's not a "squishy" modern runner, but the ride is smooth. A definite win for all-day wear.
