Air jordan 11 gamma blue restock : Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ11 'Gamma Blue' sits differently than, say, a Jordan 1 [moweo7ef]

It's "bulkier", more of a '90s basketball silhouette. The cushioning is also more about court feel than cloud-like softness. That's not a bad thing - it's "authentic". I appreciate that this restock stayed true to the original 2013 specs. It's a piece of sneaker history you can actually wear. Opening this box, the Air Jordan 11 "Gamma Blue" restock looks "super" sharp. The mix of black patent leather and that vibrant, icy blue hits different in hand. For $225, the craftsmanship feels on point—no glue stains I can see. My first impression? It's a clean, aggressive colorway that really makes the 11's silhouette pop, honestly. On foot, the "Gamma Blue" details truly pop—especially against the black nubuck and that shiny patent leather. The color-blocking is so clean and works with "a lot" of fits. It’s a shoe that makes a statement without being too loud. Honestly, one of the best retro+ colorways Jordan Brand has ever done, period. This restock was needed! Comparing it to other 11s? The "gamma blue restock" holds up. The quality feels comparable to recent "Gratitude" 11s. Versus a modern AJ38? Totally different world. This is about style & heritage, not cutting-edge tech. The $225 USD price point is steep, but for a coveted retro like this, it's the current standard, honestly.
