True to size for me, with that snug — not tight — midfoot wrap. The cushioning is firm but comfortable, you feel that heel Air unit. It's not a super-light shoe, but the weight feels balanced. Compared to some newer "Jordan" models, like a 36, it's definitely less bouncy, but that's the expected, timeless feel of the "Air Jordan 11 Retro". Now, a real con? That bright Igloo blue patent leather is "not" for the faint of heart. It's harder to style casually than a neutral colorway. Also, at $225 USD, it’s a premium investment for a shoe that might not be your daily driver. If you love safe colors, this might not be for you. In summary: A top-tier lifestyle Jordan. It gets a "strong" yes from me if you value versatility and timeless design. It's not the most groundbreaking release ever, but it's executed "so" well. The Air Jordan 11 Retro "Igloo" is a shoe you'll reach for constantly. Just be ready for a lot of compliments — and maybe a few questions about where you got them! Is it worth the $230 price tag? Honestly, it depends. If you're a collector of the Jordan series or just love unique colorways, this "Igloo" release is a must-have. It's a piece of art. But, if you're looking for a beater sneaker or max comfort tech, look elsewhere. This is for style & vibes. The quality is there, the look is insane... but it's definitely a 'special occasion' shoe for most people, myself included.
