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! Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Gamma 11s" sit in a unique spot. They're more versatile for daily wear than, say, a Concord or Bred, but they still have that formal-ish 11 aesthetic. The cushioning isn't as "bouncy" as a modern Jordan 37, but for retro style and comfort, it’s hard to beat. This specific colorway has a real cult following for a reason. First try-on... the fit is "super" snug, true to size for me. The "air jordan 11 gamma" has that structured, supportive feel - the patent leather wrap gives great lockdown. It's not the lightest shoe, you feel its presence, but that carbon fiber plate provides "awesome" stability. A premium, substantial feel on foot. Who is this for? Honestly, any Jordan fan who missed these the first time around. It's a grail for some! Also great for someone wanting a durable, stylish sneaker that works with jeans or joggers. The "air jordan 11 gamma" isn't loud, so it fits a more mature sneaker rotation perfectly.
