The colorway is "unique" and executed perfectly. Comfort is top-tier for a retro basketball silhouette. It's a legendary design (the Jordan 11) in a fresh, wearable color. Cons? Well, at $225 USD, it's a significant investment. And that vibrant purple nubuck might show dirt and scuffs more easily than a black-based shoe. Final verdict? If the color speaks to you, you won't be disappointed by the quality or the on-feet presence. It's a premium product with a premium price tag. For me, the uniqueness justifies it. The Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain is a win for Jordan Brand, offering a fresh take on a legendary model. Just be ready for the compliments—and maybe a few stares. Comparing these Purple Rains to other Jordan 11s? The quality feels consistent—which is a good thing. However, that iconic 'elephant print' texture on the midsole here? It's actually a deep purple, not black… a subtle but cool detail that sets it apart. For me, this colorway sits right between a classic and an 'atmos' collab. It's unique without being "too" crazy for the Jordan series purists. Alright, let's get this box open. First look at the "Air Jordan 11 'Purple Rain'"? That color is... wow. In hand, the deep purple patent leather against the matte black mesh is just stunning. The craftsmanship on this "Jordan 11" is typical premium quality - no glue stains I can see. That shiny, almost "wet" look of the patent leather? It's the star of the show right out of the gate.
