The potential drawbacks are the higher maintenance of the materials and the bold color that might not suit a minimalist wardrobe. Personally, I love having this in the collection. The Air Jordan 11 Purple Rain isn't an everyday beater, but it's a special occasion sneaker that always sparks conversation. Not for everyone, though. If you're new to the Jordan 11 and want a versatile first pair, maybe start with a 'Legend Blue' or 'Cool Grey'. The Purple Rain is a specific vibe. Also, at $225, it's an investment for a "mostly" lifestyle shoe. For true performance basketball, I'd look elsewhere within the Jordan series. Who should maybe skip? If you're new to Jordans and want your first pair of 11s, a more versatile color like the "Cool Grey" might be safer. Also, if you prioritize ultra-soft, foam-based comfort above all else, the firmer ride of this retro might not be your favorite. Think about your usual fits! Biggest pro for me? The materials. That rich purple nubuck on the collar is buttery soft, contrasting perfectly with the stiff, glossy patent leather of the "air jordan 11". The execution is top-tier. You're paying for a premium build here, and it shows in every stitch and detail. This isn't a lazy color swap.
