They live up to the hype for me. The Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' is a special release that delivers on its promise of classic style. If you've been on the fence and you can swing the $225 USD, I'd say go for it. You won't regret it. Alright, let's get these out of the box. First look at the "Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue"? That icy blue outsole just "pops" against the white upper. The patent leather cut is clean, and the overall build quality feels premium right away. For around $225 USD, you expect that, but it's still impressive to see in hand. This is a classic Jordan series release done right. 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. My final take? I love them. The Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' is a beautiful execution of a legendary design. It feels special from unboxing to wearing. Yes, it has its quirks (yellowing soles!), but that's part of the story. For the price, you get a timeless sneaker. If this colorway speaks to you, I think it's absolutely worth adding to the rotation.
