It stands out in any collection. The con? That beautiful patent leather is a scratch magnet – you gotta be careful! At $225, it's an investment. I'd say it's worth it for collectors or anyone who appreciates a detailed, feminine twist on a classic. Alright, let's get into these. Unboxing the Air Jordan 11 'Mother's Day' was a clean experience. The lilac and cream colorway is straight-up elegant, and the leather upper feels premium compared to some recent releases. It's that classic AJ11 silhouette we love, but this specific execution is really unique. For $225, the quality seems solid right out of the gate. This is a special colorway for sure. Here’s a real pro: the craftsmanship. The choice of materials—soft nubuck, smooth leather, that shiny mudguard—feels intentional and high-quality for this special edition. It doesn’t feel like a rushed retro. Compared to some recent GR Jordan series drops, the attention to detail here is a noticeable step up, which kinda justifies that $210 price tag for collectors. Here's my honest take: the design is a 10/10. The gold Jumpman on the heel? The icy blue outsole? "Perfection". It tells a story. But – and this is a big but – that mostly-white upper is a nightmare to keep clean. If you're rough on your kicks, this might give you anxiety. As a display piece or for special occasions? Incredible. As a daily beater? Probably not the best choice from the Jordan lineup.
