You're paying for a piece of history and a flawless colorway. For a casual buyer who just wants comfy sneakers? Maybe not. The value is in the heritage and the look, not necessarily in groundbreaking tech or all-day comfort. Who might want to skip? If you need ultra-plush, modern cushioning, look at newer models. The 11's tech is dated (but still good!). Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers, the high-cut collar here isn't for you. And at $225, it's an investment. If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable daily options. Who might want to pass? If you need a shoe for actual basketball, look elsewhere. Also, if you're on a tight budget or prefer more understated, low-key sneakers, the bright blue and shiny patent leather might be a bit too much for your style. It's a bold shoe. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue" has a dressier feel than, say, an AJ1 or AJ4. It's less bulky than a 3 or 4 but has more structure than a 1. The cushioning is good, but it's not modern performance tech. It's a lifestyle icon first. For pure on-court use today, there are better options.
