First impression? The quality is solid. The full-grain leather feels premium. Sliding them on, the fit is snug - a signature of the AJ11. The Air cushioning is plush, no break-in needed. The clear outsole, though? It will yellow over time, that's just a fact. Love it for the comfort and look, but know the icy sole won't stay icy forever. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 11 'Concords'! First thing out of the box... wow. That patent leather shine is "iconic". The build quality here, especially on this 2023 pair, feels really solid. On foot? Immediate classic status – the cushioning is plush, and the fit is true-to-size. Compared to other Jordans (looking at you, AJ1), the 11 is way more comfortable for all-day wear. The clear outsole is a pro for style, but a potential con – it will yellow over time. At ~$225, if you want a piece of sneaker history you can actually walk in, this is it. Not for folks who hate keeping shoes clean, though! Alright, let's get into these "Concord" "Air Jordan 11s". First off, the box is heavy & that's always a good sign. Unboxing them? The patent leather is just "so" shiny and pristine in hand. Honestly, the contrast with the white upper and that icy blue outsole... it's a classic for a reason. For $225, you're paying for that iconic "Jordan series" silhouette that looks expensive on foot. 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?
