It's a fingerprint & scuff magnet. If you’re someone who’s really rough on your kicks, this might cause you some stress. Also, at "$225", it's a significant investment. Compared to a more basic Jordan 1 Mid, you're paying for the tech & prestige of the AJ11 model. Worth it for me, but something to consider. On foot, the "look" is fantastic. The purple really wraps around the foot in a cool way. Comfort? The "Air Jordan 11" platform is tried and true. My "verdict"? This is a shoe for the "collector" and the bold dresser. It's for someone whose wardrobe already has some personality. Not the "first" 11 I'd recommend to a newbie, but an "awesome" addition for a seasoned fan. Final verdict? The Air Jordan 11 "Purple Rain" is a hit for me. Great materials, iconic silhouette, and a daring yet beautiful color. At $225, it's a fair price for a premium Jordan release. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to add a pop of color to their rotation. It's a fun, well-made shoe that delivers on its promise. Definitely worth it! On feet, the way the light hits this "Purple Rain" colorway is incredible. The patent leather has this crazy shimmer that photos don't fully capture. Paired with black jeans or shorts? It's a head-turner. The classic "Jordan 11" silhouette is already sleek, and this color just makes it pop even more. It’s a statement piece, for sure.
