Also, if you're rough on your shoes and the yellowing sole would bother you, maybe consider a different colorway. Let's talk about the elephant in the room: the outsole. That gorgeous icy blue rubber is notorious for yellowing over time. It's part of the deal with this Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' release. If you're a collector who wants to keep them deadstock forever, that's a concern. For wearers, just know they'll develop a patina—embrace it or be prepared for some maintenance. Comparing it to other Jordans? The 11 is more of a lifestyle/performance hybrid. It's not as plush as a 13, but more supportive than a 1. The 'Legend Blue' colorway is arguably one of the best in the entire Jordan series. It just has that iconic, timeless vibe. Slipping these on... wow. The fit is snug, true to size for me. The patent leather provides good lockdown around the midfoot. Cushioning? It's firm but comfortable - you get that classic Air Jordan 11 feel, not super plush like modern performance shoes. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the quality.
