.. the fit is "true" to size for me. The feel is classic AJ11: decent cushioning from the Air unit and carbon fiber plate, but let's be real—it's not a modern, super-plush ride. The full-grain leather liner feels premium, "however", it doesn't breathe as well as the mesh on older releases. The igloo colorway pops on-foot, "though"! Comparing it to my other Jordans... the 11 is always a step above in comfort versus, say, a 1 or a 4. The Igloo's style is more fashion-forward than a Bred or a Space Jam. You're buying this for the look, first and foremost, while still getting that great, familiar Jordan series performance feel. Now, a "real" con? The patent leather. It "will" crease—it's inevitable. And that "beautiful" white mesh and midsole? They're "dirt magnets". These aren't a "beat 'em up" daily shoe. You gotta be "conscious" of where you're walking. It's a "trade-off" for that stunning look. My final take? I'm really impressed with this release. "Jordan Brand" took a risk with this 'Igloo' palette, and it paid off. On foot, they feel special and get tons of looks. Are they worth the $225? If you love the 11 model and want something beyond the classic colorways, then absolutely. Just factor in that maintenance cost - keep those suede brushes handy!
