Plus, that light teal nubuck is a magnet for dirt and denim bleed. You'll be babying these. If you're looking for a daily beater 11, this ain't it. It's a display piece you wear on special occasions. So, would I recommend them? Cautiously, yes - to the right person. If the unique ""Miami Dolphins"" theme speaks to you and you understand the sample market, go for it. The quality is top-notch. But for 99% of people watching this, a general-release AJ11 will bring you just as much joy for a fraction of the price. It's all about your personal collection goals. Now, the potential cons. That bright colorway? It's "not" for everyone and can be tough to style daily. Also, being a sample, availability is near zero, and if you find one, the price will be in the thousands of USD—think major investment territory. This isn't a shoe you buy just to wear; it's for a very specific collector. On feet, the colorway is... LOUD. The 'Miami Dolphins' theme is executed perfectly with that slick teal nubuck and bright orange hits. It's a summer shoe, for sure. In natural light? It's stunning. But let's be real—this isn't an everyday palette. You gotta plan your fit around this "Air Jordan 11 sample". If you love standing out, this is your grail.
