Some folks find the "Air Jordan 11" runs a bit long, yet the patent leather can feel tight on wider feet. I'd recommend trying a pair on if you can. Also, that beautiful patent leather is prone to creasing over time—it's just part of the character. If you're super particular about keeping kicks pristine, that might bug you. In summary, the "Air Jordan 11" delivers on its promise: a beautiful, well-made retro that dominates in looks. It's not the comfiest Jordan ever, but its iconic feel is part of the experience. If you're on the fence, try a pair on! See how that patent leather & fit work for "you". For my collection? The "Jordan 11" is, and always will be, an essential. Hope this honest review helped So, I finally got the Air Jordan 11 'Cherry' on foot. The red hits / they are so vibrant in person. Initial comfort is good, but they do feel a bit stiff / until you break them in. The design is pure class – it elevates any simple outfit. However, that shiny patent leather upper can crease, which bothers some people. Worth the $225? For a classic colorway like this, / yes. But if you're looking for a daily beater shoe, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' – a classic. Unboxing them, that white leather and patent combo is just pristine. They scream summer. Putting them on... the fit is fantastic, true to size. My real take? The major pro is that clean, crisp look. The major con? Keeping them clean is a "job". Compared to a Jordan 6, the 11 feels more streamlined. At $225, you're paying for that iconic look. Worth it? If you don't mind maintenance, 100%. Perfect for sneakerheads who love a project. Not for someone who wants to just throw on shoes and go.
