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. The major pro here is the timeless design. This Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' is a piece of sneaker history. The materials feel durable, and that icy sole, while it will yellow, is part of the charm. It's a shoe you buy for the look and the heritage, first and foremost. Let's talk about the look in-hand versus on-foot. In photos, the Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' can look almost "too" bright. In person, the white and blue balance is perfect. The patent leather shines without being gaudy. Walking around, you get that iconic silhouette that turns heads. It's a shoe that commands attention, which is great... but maybe not if you prefer low-key kicks. Putting them on, the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning is firm but comfortable, typical of the 11s. The patent leather provides good lockdown. They're not the lightest shoes, but you don't really notice it. The Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue just feels premium on foot.
