That patent leather can crease – it's just part of the deal. Also, the icy blue outsole will yellow over time, no matter how careful you are. If you're someone who wants a "wear-and-forget" sneaker that stays pristine, this might stress you out. 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. Comparing it to my other 11s, like the 'Concord', the 'Legend Blue' feels just as well-made. The color-blocking is simpler, which some might prefer. It's less bold than the 'Bred' but has its own cool, calm vibe. A solid entry in the Jordan series lineup. Another thing to consider: the fit. While it's TTS for me, the patent leather can be stiff initially and might feel restrictive for people with wider feet. It breaks in, but the first few wears can be a bit snug. Compared to more forgiving, knit-based sneakers, the Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' has a more structured, formal feel.
