It's not the lightest shoe in the Jordan series, but you feel secure. The "Igloo release" has this cool, almost pearlized sheen on the patent leather that looks even better in natural light. If you love 11s, you'll adore wearing these. Alright, let's unbox these! First look at the Air Jordan 11 Retro "Igloo" release is... clean. The icy-blue outsole "immediately" catches your eye, and that matte finish on the upper? It's a really nice, subtle change. Overall shape & silhouette? Classic Jordan 11 perfection. For a retail price around $225 USD, the initial quality impression is definitely solid. A great start to this Jordan series drop. Now, the potential con — and be real with yourself — is the color. That beautiful "Igloo" blue patent leather is "not" easy to style daily. It demands attention and limits your outfit choices more than a neutral shoe. If you're someone who wears a lot of black, grey, or earth tones, this might sit in the box more often. It's a "special occasion" sneaker for many. In summary: A "beautifully executed" colorway on a legendary silhouette. It's a win for "Jordan Brand". If the Igloo blue speaks to you and you understand what the 11 brings to the table... then yeah, I think it's worth adding to the collection. Just know its quirks! That's my honest review of the "air jordan 11 retro igloo".
