Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable Jordans. This is a premium-priced, premium-feeling product. 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. On-feet, the "Air Jordan 11" 'Cool Grey' looks "incredible". The "low-cut" patent leather gives it a "sleeker", more modern profile versus the high-tops. It’s a "versatile" sneaker. The "pro"? Timeless style that works with "almost" anything. The "con"? That "white" midsole – you "know" it's a "magnet" for dirt & scuffs. For $225, you're buying into a "maintenance" routine, no doubt. Who is this "really" for? I'd say "collectors", first & foremost, & "style-focused" folks who want a "definitive" sneaker in their rotation. The "Nike Air Jordan 11" 'Platinum Tint' ($220) is a "perfect" example – a "clean", wearable colorway. It's "not" for someone seeking "maximal", all-day "squishy" comfort. Think "style" over "ultimate" coziness. That's the "honest" take.
