It's for the collector who already has the core Jordan 11 colorways and wants something special. It's also great for anyone who just loves purple! The "Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain" makes a strong style statement without being "too" difficult to match. Who are these for? Honestly, for the Jordan 11 collector who wants something different, or the style-savvy person who loves bold accents. The Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain makes a perfect centerpiece for a neutral outfit. If you missed out on the 'Gamma Blue' 11s but love dark, cool tones? These are your grail. So, should "you" cop? If you're expanding a diverse Jordan collection and appreciate unique takes on classics - yes. If you're buying your first-ever pair of 11s? Maybe start with a core color. But for me, this "Purple Rain" version is a highlight of the year. Seriously, no regrets. Okay, let's get these open. The first thing that hits you with the "Air Jordan 11 'Purple Rain'" is that premium presentation. The box, the tissue paper - it feels special. The purple on the patent leather is "deep", almost metallic in certain lights, and the contrast with the white mesh is so clean. For an 11, it's a classic silhouette, but this colorway makes it feel completely new. Right away, you know this is a standout pair.
