The iconic look, the quality materials, and the timeless design justify the cost. It's a piece of sneaker history you can actually wear. Just go into it knowing its quirks—like the yellowing sole—and you'll love having it in your rotation. Now, a potential con for some: that icy blue outsole. We all know it will eventually yellow over time. It's just the nature of the material. If you're a collector who wants to keep them DS forever, that's something to consider. For wearers, it's part of the journey, but it bothers some people. Who might want to skip? If you need ultra-comfortable, all-day walking shoes, there are better options. Also, if you're rough on your kicks and hate visible wear, the delicate materials might stress you out. And for hardcore ballers, this is a retro—stick to modern performance models. The Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' is about style, first and foremost. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 11 is always a special release. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the 11 feels more structured and substantial. The Legend Blue colorway is less flashy than a Concord but just as classic. It sits right up there with the greats in the Jordan series.
