.. the fit is true to size for me. The patent leather provides a "solid" lockdown around the midfoot, which I really like. The cushioning? It's that familiar Air Jordan 11 feel: firm but responsive, not super plush like some modern sneakers. The 'Legend Blue' colorway just pops on foot, especially with that contrasting black inner sleeve. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' in hand, and "wow" - that box is iconic. The first thing you notice is that icy blue outsole, it's just "so" clean. The patent leather mudguard has a nice, consistent shine to it, and the white upper is crisp. For around $225 USD, the initial quality feels on point. This is a classic Jordan series release, no doubt. 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. Alright, let's get into these. First look out of the box? The Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue is just "clean". That white patent leather cut against the icy blue outsole? It's a classic combo for a reason. The build quality feels solid right away. Honestly, this is one of those Jordan series releases that just looks expensive, and at around $225 USD, it kinda is. Initial impression is strong.
