This nubuck upper is "buttery" and should crease much more gracefully than standard leather. The craftsmanship on my pair is "flawless". For a $225 USD Jordan retro, that's what you want to see. It "feels" special, not just like another color drop. Definitely a strong point for this release. Who is this for? Honestly — collectors, Jordan 11 enthusiasts who have the core colorways and want something fresh. Also, for people who aren't afraid of color and have a wardrobe to match these. At $225 USD, it's a premium purchase, so you really gotta love this specific "air jordan 11 retro igloo release" and see yourself wearing it, not just hoarding it. 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! So, "worth" it? If the style speaks to you—"absolutely". It’s one of the "best" non-OG Jordan 11 colorways in years. But be "honest" with your lifestyle. These are for "special" days, clean fits, and "sneaker" appreciation. Not a "practical" necessity, but a "fantastic" addition to any collection.
