Indoors? It's a deep, royal purple. But step into the sun— and the patent leather "lights up" with this iridescent, almost rain-like effect. It's super dynamic. The mesh upper and matte purple panels balance the shine perfectly. This Air Jordan 11 is a "chameleon". 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. Here’s a real talk con, though - the patent leather. On the "air jordan 11 purple rain", it's gorgeous, but it creases. Period. If you're someone who hates seeing creases on your kicks, this might stress you out. Also, that icy blue outsole? It will yellow over time. Just know what you're getting into with this "Jordan series" model. Honest review time. The "air jordan 11 purple rain" looks even better in person than in pics. The purple patent leather has a real depth to it. On-foot feel is great – supportive and comfortable from the first step. My only critique? The materials, while nice, can feel a bit delicate for casual, heavy wear. This Jordan series release is a winner for style, but it's a "wear with care" kind of shoe. If you treat your kicks well, you'll love these. If you're super hard on footwear, think twice.
