It's more subtle than a 'Concord' but has more personality than a 'Cool Grey'. The color-blocking is timeless. For $225, it's in that standard AJ11 premium tier. If you're a fan of the model, this is a must-consider pickup. It fills a nice spot in a collection between the loud and the neutral colorways. Alright, let's get these open. The "first impression" of the "Air Jordan 11 'Purple Rain'" is just... "wow". That deep purple patent leather against the black nubuck? It's a "stunning" combo, honestly. The construction feels premium right out of the box, a hallmark of the "Jordan series". For $225 USD, you're getting that classic, sleek 11 silhouette with a "seriously" bold twist. I’m already excited to get these on feet. So who's this for? Sneakerheads looking for a bold, "high-quality" addition to their Jordan 11 collection. Fans of purple & unique color stories. If you appreciate standing out & don't mind a little extra care for that patent leather, you'll love this shoe. Now, a real con? That beautiful purple patent leather. It's a fingerprint & scuff magnet. If you’re someone who’s really rough on your kicks, this might cause you some stress. Also, at "$225", it's a significant investment. Compared to a more basic Jordan 1 Mid, you're paying for the tech & prestige of the AJ11 model. Worth it for me, but something to consider.
