Also, if you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot. You could get two great pairs for that. And if you hate noticeable creasing? This "Nike Air Jordan 11" patent leather will show wear. It's part of the character, but I know it bugs some people. Comparing this to other "Jordan" retros... the "Air Jordan 11" is "less" bulky than a 4 or 5. It feels "lighter" on foot, & the "height" offers good ankle "support". Is it the "most" comfortable Jordan? "Probably" not – that crown might go to the 13. But for sheer "iconic" status & on-court heritage (thanks, MJ!), the "11" holds a "special" place. It's a "piece" of history. 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. Is it worth the price? For me, "yes" -- if you value history, design, and that unique on-foot feel. The "Nike Air Jordan 11" is a "legend" for a reason. You're paying for an icon. But if you just want a simple, everyday beater sneaker? There are "far" more affordable and less delicate options out there.
