If you missed the original 2001 release or the 2014 retro, this is your chance to own a piece of that legacy. The Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' is a must-have for purists. Slipping these on... the fit is true to size for me. The patent leather provides good lockdown, but it's not overly restrictive. Cushioning? It's that familiar Air Jordan 11 feel: firm but responsive, not super plush like modern performance shoes. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the quality and structure on foot. It's a comfortable, supportive ride for casual wear. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ11 sits higher off the ground than, say, an AJ1 or AJ4. The cushioning is also firmer than something like an AJ13. But that's its DNA. Among the 11s themselves, this 'Legend Blue' is up there with the 'Concord' and 'Bred' as an absolute must-have colorway. It's a pillar of the Jordan series. In summary: Great materials, iconic colorway, comfortable for lifestyle wear. Watch out for sole yellowing and creasing. At $225 USD, it's a premium price for a premium retro. If you've always wanted this specific AJ11, you likely won't be disappointed. That's my honest review of the Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue'.
