That patent leather? It can crease (it's part of the charm, but some hate it). Also, the fit can be narrow – wide-footers, maybe size up. And the price... $225 is steep for a retro with "okay" modern cushioning. If you want max comfort tech, look elsewhere. The "Air Jordan 11" is about style & history first. Comparing it to something like a recent "Jordan" retro – say, a 4 – the "Air Jordan 11" feels a bit heavier and more structured. But that structure translates to amazing support and lockdown. The ankle collar is high, which I love for feel, but some might find it restrictive. If you have a wider foot, maybe consider sizing up half. Let's talk about the looks on camera. The way the patent leather catches the light? "Chef's kiss". This 'Cherry' colorway pops against any fit. The "Nike Air Jordan 11" has a dress-shoe-meets-basketball aesthetic that's hard to beat. It’s a shoe that gets compliments every single time you wear it, no joke. On foot, the silhouette is just "iconic". That high-cut and shiny patent leather make your legs look great. It's a shoe that "commands" attention, whether you're on-court or just styling. Compared to, say, a "Jordan 1", the "Air Jordan 11" has a much more "performance-oriented" and sleek profile, which I personally love.
