.. classic. Opening it up, that icy-blue upper just "pops" against the white. The patent leather on this Jordan series model is super clean - no weird wrinkles or glue marks on my pair. For $225, the initial quality and that unique "Igloo" colorway really stand out. A strong, premium first impression, for sure. The pros? Major ones: Incredible, unique colorway that's executed perfectly. The quality of materials (patent leather, carbon fiber) is top-notch for a retro. You get that legendary Jordan 11 comfort and silhouette, which is always a win. It's a shoe that will turn heads and stands out in any collection. A definite highlight in the Jordan series this year. Who is this for? The "sneakerhead" who appreciates "design" and "materials". The person who "already" loves the Jordan 11 silhouette and wants a "fresh" take. If you have a mostly-neutral wardrobe and want a "pop" of cool color, the "Air Jordan 11 Retro Igloo release" is "perfect" for you. Who should "maybe" skip it? If you're new to Jordans and want your "first" 11, I'd "still" point you to a 'Bred' or 'Concord' for that iconic look. Also, if you need a "beater" shoe or something for "intense" balling? This isn't it. The price ($225 USD) and delicate color make it more of a "style" and "special occasion" shoe, in my opinion.
