The "Gamma" is a grail for many. It's also great for someone who wants a statement sneaker that isn't overly bright. At $225, it's an investment in a classic piece of sneaker history. If that speaks to you, go for it. Now, a real con? The "price tag" at $225 USD is steep—no way around it. Also, that icy blue outsole "will" yellow over time, it’s inevitable. And if you have a wider foot, the fit through the midfoot can be snug due to the patent leather. It’s not the most breathable shoe for summer either. These are things you "have" to consider before buying. Now, the "cons" or things to know. That patent leather can feel "stiff" at first, needing a short break-in. The icy outsole? It "will" yellow over time, no escaping it. Also, the dark upper can show dust pretty easily. This isn't a "beater" shoe by any means. For some, the $225 USD price tag for a retro might be steep, "especially" if you want a more versatile color. Final take? The Air Jordan 11 "Gamma Blue" is a certified classic for a reason. The look is iconic, the on-foot feel is proven, and this specific colorway is incredibly wearable. It's a piece of sneaker history you can actually enjoy wearing. For me, it's a definite recommend if the style speaks to you.
