Sneaker Reviews - Anthony Levine's Official Website
Here’s all my Air Jordan 11 reviews! I think the 11 falls in the category of historical and famous yet uncomfortable Jordan retros.
Personally, I wish the typically patent leather-laced model was a bit easier on my feet. I probably would have kept some of the OG colorways I had, but they were just a pain to wear.
Comfort doesn’t usually influence popularity on Jordans though. The historical material choices and looks of the 11 have made it ring bells throughout sneakerhead history. People still flock to cop the annual wintertime AJXI release. And I can’t say I blame them, as aesthetically I love how these sneakers look. Just because the comfort makes them not for me does not mean they are not a worthwhile shoe for some collectors to go after.
These Air Jordan XI Columbia sold out when they dropped in 2001. Air Jordan XI’s are always highly anticipated, and this release just happens to be the last XI’s with “Nike Air” on the insole! Thes sport some obvious patent leather on the toebox and above the midsole, with the rest of the uppers being leather except for the mesh tongue. These come in a Jordan “face box” with white rope laces and a retro card.
