Air jordan 11 285 release : So, who is this FOR? Sneakerheads who love the AJ11 shape and want a fresh colorway [bp2wae94]

It's great for collectors or anyone wanting a versatile blue/white shoe. If you value court-born heritage and that sleek profile, you'll love this pick-up. It's a wear-everywhere flex. On foot, this '285 Release' colorway really pops. The white midsole contrasts perfectly with the red and black. The red hits are vibrant—not too bright, not too dark. In natural light or on camera, this shoe looks expensive and clean. It's a head-turner, for sure. Comparing it to my other 11s, the "'285 Release'" sits right up there. It's less flashy than a 'Concord' but more interesting than a straight 'Cool Grey'. For the $225 price tag, you're getting a fantastic summer/indoor sneaker. It's a "strong" addition to the Jordan series lineup this year. Now, a potential con, and this goes for many 11s: the creasing. That beautiful patent leather is a fingerprint—and crease—magnet. If you're someone who hates seeing creases on your sneakers, this might stress you out. Also, the traction on dusty surfaces can be just okay. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to know before you cop.
