Nike air jordan 11 : On feet now, and the fit is "snug" – but in a good, supportive way [mlnyb10n]

The patent leather cage does a great job holding your midfoot. They're not the lightest shoes ever, but you feel that quality. Compared to, say, an "Air Jordan 1", the comfort level here is way higher right out of the box. That's a major "plus" for all-day wear. Conversely, who should "avoid" it? Hardcore ballers seeking the latest on-court tech—look elsewhere. Also, if you prioritize pillowy-soft comfort above all else, you might be disappointed. The fit can be narrow, so wide-footers, definitely try before you buy this $225 investment. It's not a universal, do-everything shoe. Who should "avoid" it? Pure comfort seekers – there are bouncier options. 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. Performance on-court? I took these for a light shootaround. The "nike air jordan 11" still holds up! The traction is excellent on a clean court, and that ankle support is real. Compared to newer Jordans like the 34 or 36, they feel a bit "clunky" and high off the ground. But for their era? Genius. I'd say these are best for casual wear or very light ball now—not for serious, high-level play. They're a relic, in the best way.
