Just unboxed the "air jordan 11 purple rain" and – wow, that purple patent leather "really" pops in hand. It's a $225 Jordan release, but the craftsmanship feels on point. First on-foot? The cushioning is classic AJ11: comfortable and supportive right away. Honestly, this "Purple Rain" colorway is a stunner – it's bold, though. If you're shy with your fits, maybe look elsewhere. For collectors or fans of unique Jordans? This is a must-have. Here's a major "pro": the materials feel top-tier. The patent leather cut is clean, the stitching is on point, and the overall construction screams quality. For a $225 USD release, you're getting that premium Jordan Brand build. It feels worth the price tag from a craftsmanship standpoint. The 'Purple Rain' colorway execution is just "immaculate" - no flaws on my pair. Sizing feels true for me. The fit is snug—typical for 11s—with that great heel lockdown. Walking around, you appreciate the cushioning. Visually, this "Purple Rain" iteration is just fire on camera. The contrast is so sharp. Pros: Iconic design, fantastic color execution. Cons: That patent leather box can feel a bit stiff initially, and again, breathability isn't its strong suit. Worth it for the look alone, in my book. Let's talk about this 'Purple Rain' colorway, specifically. It's bold, no doubt. In natural light, the purple has so much depth & the contrasting white really makes it pop. Compared to other Air Jordan 11 releases, this is a standout piece. It’s a great alternative if you missed out on other classic color-blockings. However"," if you prefer subtle shoes, this might be a bit "too" loud for your rotation.
