The first thing you notice is that icy blue outsole—it's "so" clean. The patent leather cut is high and the white upper is bright. For around $225 USD, the initial quality feels on point. This is a classic Jordan series release that just looks expensive right out of the gate. Now, the potential downsides. That beautiful icy outsole is notorious for yellowing over time – it's basically inevitable. Also, the patent leather can crease in a very noticeable way. If you're rough on your kicks, this $225 USD investment might hurt to see age. It's not a "carefree" daily sneaker. Final verdict? For me, the Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' is absolutely worth it. 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. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The patent leather provides a secure, structured feel around the midfoot, but it's not overly restrictive. The cushioning is firm yet comfortable – it's that classic AJ11 feel. You're not getting Boost or ZoomX here, but for casual wear and light hoops, it's solid.
