If you're on the fence because of the color, maybe wait. But for the right person, the "air jordan 11 purple rain" is an instant favorite. Comparing these to my other 11s, like the "Cool Grey" or "Concord", the Purple Rain stands out for its "vibrant" personality. It's less versatile, color-wise, but more unique. The craftsmanship on this pair feels solid—clean glue lines, neat stitching. For $225, you expect that quality. Is it a must-have? If you love bold color stories in the Jordan series, this is a fantastic pick. Now, a few "cons" or things to consider. That beautiful patent leather? It's gonna crease—it's inevitable. If that bothers you, maybe think twice. Also, at "$225", it's a steep price for a shoe that's been around for decades tech-wise. And the purple, while amazing, isn't as versatile as a black/white or grey shoe. You gotta plan your fits around these. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's for the AJ11 collector or someone who wants a premium, non-OG colorway. It's for the person who appreciates subtle flex. The "air jordan 11 purple rain" is a perfect weekend shoe or for special occasions. If you liked the 'Jubilee' or 'Cap and Gown', you'll probably vibe with this one too.
