If you're rough on your shoes and hate visible wear, the delicate materials here might not be ideal. Hardcore ballers might also want more modern performance features. Now, the not-so-great stuff. That beautiful icy blue outsole? It "will" yellow over time, no matter what you do. It's inevitable. Also, at around $225 USD, it's a significant investment for a retro. And if you need max comfort for all-day wear, there are definitely better, more modern options out there. Comparing it to other 11s, like the 'Concord', the 'Legend Blue' feels just as premium. The construction is solid. However, compared to a more performance-focused Jordan like the 34 or 36, the 11 is heavier and less agile. But that's not why you buy this shoe. You buy it for the style, the heritage, and that unbeatable silhouette. My final take? For me, the Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue is absolutely worth it. It's a cornerstone of any collection. The look, the history, the wearability – it all adds up. Just go in knowing the outsole will age and the leather will crease. That's part of its character. A definitive release in the Jordan lineage.
