Nike air jordan 11 : Comparing it to other "Jordans"? The "Air Jordan 11" is a different beast than, say, an AJ1 [ryul6wtu]

It's more structured, more technical. The lockdown is superior. Versus an AJ3? The 11 is sleeker and less bulky. That carbon fiber shank plate gives serious stability the 3 doesn't have. For ball or for style, the 11 brings a unique combo of tech and classic looks to the "Jordan series". 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. The "packaging" alone for this Jordan series release feels special. Pulling out the Nike Air Jordan 11, the 'Concord' colorway is just stunning in person. That high-gloss black, the clean white... it's a shoe that commands attention. On foot, the fit is true to size for me. A pro is the versatility – you can dress it up or down. A con? That icy outsole will yellow over time. It's part of the journey, I guess! On foot now, and wow. The cushioning is plush right out of the box – that full-length Air unit is no joke. The fit is snug, but not overly tight, which I "love". Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, this "Air Jordan 11" feels way more modern and comfortable for all-day wear. It's definitely not the lightest shoe, but the support (especially around the ankle) feels premium.
