The materials feel identical. If you loved the originals, you'll love these. The $225 price point is standard for 11s now. For me, the "benefit" is getting that legendary look in a fresh, "complete" package. Who's this for? Sneakerheads looking for a "grown-up" Jordan. It's perfect for someone who loves the series but maybe finds the classic colorways "too" loud. Also, great for holiday gifting or adding a versatile, statement shoe to a rotation. The quality justifies the price tag for that audience. On feet, the design "really" shines. In natural light, that icy blue translucent outsole looks incredible—it's the star of the show. The white leather upper with the shiny patent leather makes this "Grand Finale" colorway feel both classic and special. Compared to other recent Jordan 11 releases? This one feels more refined and less flashy, which I personally prefer. On foot now, and the feel is... familiar, which is a good thing! The cushioning from the full-length Air unit is just as comfortable as I remember from other Jordan 11 releases. The fit is true for me, but a quick heads-up: because it's a WMNS spec, it might run a bit narrow for some. The overall support is fantastic, though. It's a solid, locked-in feeling that's perfect for all-day wear.
