That patent leather? It "will" crease - it's inevitable. The icy blue outsole is gorgeous but will oxidize over time if you're not careful. Also, if you have a wider foot, the fit can be tight. It's not the most "breathable" shoe either, just being honest! Who might want to skip it? If you're looking for a super-plush, modern basketball performance feel – this isn't it. The tech is 90s-era. Also, if you prefer ultra-breathable shoes or matte finishes, the patent leather on the Gamma might not be your thing. It's a style-first, heritage model. Who should maybe skip it? If you need max comfort for all-day wear, look at something with more modern cushioning. Also, if you're new to Jordans & want your first 11, you might prefer a more iconic OG color. And if you hate creasing… well, maybe admire these from afar! The Air Jordan 11 Gamma isn't for the faint of heart. Who should "skip" these? Hardcore ballers needing modern court tech - these are retro lifestyle shoes now. Also, if you hate creasing patent leather or prefer a super-soft, broken-in feel immediately... maybe look elsewhere. The "gamma" 11 demands a bit of patience.
