The "purple rain" theme is unique—it's not just a simple recolor. Versus a more recent model like, say, a Jordan 38? Totally different vibe. The 11 is about iconic style & legacy comfort, not cutting-edge tech. This is a "$225 USD" tribute to a classic silhouette, and it nails that brief. In summary - fantastic execution. From the deep purple hue to the classic 11 comfort, this release gets a lot right. It's a confident, well-made shoe that knows its audience. Would I recommend them? Yes, especially if you missed out on other purple-centric Jordans. They stand out in the best way possible. The "Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain" is a definitive win for 2024. Now, a potential con: the "purple patent leather" can be a bit much for some folks. If your wardrobe is all earth tones, this might be hard to style. Also, at $225, it's an investment. It's not a daily beater for most people. The "air jordan 11 purple rain" is a statement piece, so be honest with yourself about how often you'd actually wear it. Now, a potential con for some: that bold ‘Purple Rain’ color. It's not the most versatile shoe in your rotation. You really have to plan your outfit around it. If you only wear neutral tones, this might not be for you. Also, creasing on the patent leather is inevitable – just part of the game with 11s.
