The patent leather "cut" is clean, the stitching is "on point". For $350 (this is a "special" DMP pack), you expect "premium" details, & you get them. On foot, the "metallic" gold hits "catch" the light "beautifully". It's a "luxurious" take on a classic. A "con"? The "premium" price tag is a "serious" barrier for many. Now, a real con? That beautiful patent leather is a "scratch" magnet, and it can crease. If you're "super" picky about keeping your kicks flawless, the "Air Jordan 11" might give you some anxiety. It's also not the most "breathable" shoe for super hot days. Just keepin' it real. Who should maybe skip it? If you need a wide toe box or have very flat feet, the snug fit and arch of this Nike Air Jordan 11 might not be for you. Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable Jordans. This is a premium-priced, premium-feeling product. Okay, let's get this box open. First impression? The "Nike Air Jordan 11" 'Concord' just has that legendary aura. The black patent leather — or "shiny stuff" — against the white is iconic. For a retro, the build quality feels solid right out of the box. At $225 USD, it's a premium Jordan Series release, but that classic look? Timeless.
