The Legend Blue colorway is so versatile. The white upper with those hits of blue just works with everything—jeans, shorts, you name it. In natural light, that icy sole really shines. It's a shoe that looks even better on foot than in the box. A major pro is its timeless look; you can wear this Jordan 11 for years and it won't go out of style. Who should maybe skip? If you're super hard on your shoes and the yellowing soles will drive you crazy, be warned. Also, if you're buying purely for performance basketball – these are retroed for style, not for cutting-edge on-court tech. There are better performing shoes for that. 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. Who should maybe pass? If you're looking for the most comfortable, modern basketball tech, look at the newer Jordan models. Also, if you're rough on your shoes and the yellowing soles will bother you, consider a different colorway. It's a lifestyle shoe now, not for serious ball.
