It can crease, and it's not the most flexible material. If you prefer a super soft, broken-in feel immediately, this might not be it. Also, at $225, it's a significant investment. You're paying for the icon status, not necessarily groundbreaking tech. Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue"... wow, the fit is snug. The patent leather wrap provides great lockdown, and the full-length Air-Sole unit gives a nice, cushioned step. It's not the "lightest" shoe, but you feel that solid, supportive build. For casual wear or light ball, the comfort is definitely there from the first wear. Comparing it to other 11s, like the 'Concord', the 'Legend Blue' feels just as premium. The main difference is obviously the color blocking—it's less bold than the black/white contrast but equally iconic in its own way. It's a fresher, cooler tone for the collection. Alright, so here we are with the Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue'. First thing out of the box? That icy blue outsole is "stunning" in person. The patent leather mudguard has a really clean, high-quality finish on this pair. Honestly, the whole shoe just screams classic Jordan Brand elegance right from the start. It's a premium feel for sure.
