Nike air jordan 11 : Is it worth the money? For a general release at $225 USD? If you love the model, yes — it's a fair price for the legacy and quality [d4ldeqb3]

However, the resale on some colorways is crazy. My advice? Be patient for a retro you love at retail. The "Air Jordan 11" 'Gamma Blue' is my personal favorite — that hidden branding is a cool touch. Is it worth $225? For a sneakerhead wanting a centerpiece for their collection — "absolutely". The "Air Jordan 11 Concord" is a masterpiece. For someone needing a daily beater? No way. The materials are delicate, and the price is high. It’s a special-occasion shoe. For me, the pros of design and heritage far outweigh the cons. Sliding these on... the fit is interesting. I went true-to-size, and the "initial" lockdown is "really" secure. The inner sleeve hugs your foot, but some might find it a bit "stiff" at first. The "Air Jordan 11" isn't the "lightest" shoe, but that plush cushioning from the full-length Air unit? "Immediately" noticeable and comfy. On the flip side, who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, modern foam cushioning (like ZoomX), the 11's ride might feel a bit dated to you. Also, if you're really rough on your shoes and hate visible creasing, the patent leather will show wear fast. And for hardcore ballers, there are definitely better-performing basketball shoes out there now. The 11 is more of a lifestyle legend.
