The price is steep at $225 USD, but you’re paying for that premium look. If purple is your color, don’t hesitate. If you’re on the fence, maybe wait for a more neutral drop. On feet, the Air Jordan 11 'Purple Rain' is even nicer. The purple isn't overly loud; it's actually kinda sophisticated in natural light. The mesh upper breaks up the shine perfectly. Compared to my Concords, it's a totally different vibe—more unique, less common. The pros? Unbeatable style and timeless comfort. Con? That patent leather will crease, no way around it. Just wear 'em! Final verdict? I'm really impressed with the Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain. It’s a faithful execution of a fun theme on a legendary silhouette. For $225 USD, you get what you pay for in quality. It's not for everyone – the color is daring – but if it speaks to you, you won’t be disappointed. A strong addition to the Jordan series lineup this year. Thumbs up from me. Comparing it to other "Jordan 11s" — like the classic "Concords" — this "Purple Rain" version is obviously "way" more niche. The color-blocking is similar, but that rich purple replaces the standard black. It feels "special", like a collector's piece. If you love the 11's profile but want something "different", this is a "strong", unique option in the lineup.
