Air jordan 11 purple rain : Sizing feels true to me [aoirz9kg]

The break-in is minimal, which is great. My favorite detail? The way the purple changes shade slightly under different lights. Sometimes it's deep, sometimes it's almost metallic. It gives the Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain so much character. The downside? That icy blue outsole will yellow over time—it's the fate of all clear soles. Just something to know. From a practicality standpoint, a "potential" downside is the "colored" icy outsole. We all know they can yellow over time. With a "purple" tint, that aging process might look... "interesting". Just something to consider if you're a "keep 'em icy clean" person. The "upper", though, should be "relatively" easy to wipe down. 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. Who should "skip" it? If you need a daily beater or your first-ever Jordan, start with something more versatile. The maintenance on white mesh & the worry of scuffing that beautiful purple patent leather is real. This isn't a "beat-'em-up" shoe; it's a special occasion kind of sneaker.
