Great materials, stunning on-foot look, and the classic 11 experience. It's not for everyone—mainly due to the color—but for those it is for? It's a must-have. Go true to size, wear them with confidence, and enjoy one of the cleaner Jordan releases this year. Solid pick-up. So, who is this for? If you're a collector of unique "Jordan 11" colorways, or just love bold sneakers that stand out – this is a must-have. It's for the person who appreciates the model's history but wants something different from the standard black/white/red combinations. At $225, it's a solid pick for a special addition to the rotation. After wearing them for a bit, the "Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain" has grown on me "even more". The unique colorway "really" sets it apart in a sea of similar retros. Pros: "Top-tier" materials, iconic comfort, and head-turning design. Cons: The $225 investment is for the "look", not performance innovation. It's a "strong" B+ in my book for style. Who should probably pass? If this is your first "Air Jordan 11", maybe start with a more neutral colorway. If you need an everyday, go-with-everything sneaker, this purple isn't it. And at this price point, if you're not totally in love with the color, your money might be better spent elsewhere.
