But if you're on the fence? Wait for a colorway you're "truly" passionate about. The "'Purple Rain'" is a "stellar" shoe, but it's "not" for everyone, and that's okay. Alright, let's get these out of the box. First impression of the "air jordan 11 purple rain"? That purple patent leather – it's "seriously" vibrant in hand. The build quality feels solid, typical of the "Jordan 11" line. For $225, you expect premium details, and the colorway – a mix of that deep purple and white – is just stunning right off the bat. The silhouette is, of course, iconic. Let's talk design. The 'Purple Rain' theme is executed perfectly here. The icy blue outsole is a "nice" touch that ties everything together. On foot, the silhouette is as sleek as ever. The advantage? It's a legendary model with an incredibly unique twist. The potential drawback? It's very specific. If you only wear neutrals, this Air Jordan 11 might sit in the box. Know your wardrobe! Is the Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain worth it? For me, yes. Here's why: the color combination is executed perfectly. The purple, the white, the icey blue—it just works. You're paying for a piece of sneaker history with a fresh twist. It's not an "everyday" beater shoe for most, but for a fan of the 11 or unique colorways, it's a special addition. Thumbs up from me.
