First look at this Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Igloo'? The color is insane – that cool, icy blue on the patent leather "really" pops against the white mesh. The overall shape, the iconic silhouette, is just perfect. For $225, the build quality feels premium right out of the box. This 'Igloo Release' is a statement, for sure. My final take? I'm really impressed. The Air Jordan 11 Retro Igloo release nails a sophisticated, easy-to-wear look while keeping all the classic details we love. The materials feel premium, and the color palette is a home run. Yes, the sole will yellow, but that's part of the story with any icy-bottom shoe. For me, it's a definite recommend. Who's this for? Honestly, for the Jordan collector who wants a premium, wearable colorway. For someone who appreciates the 11's silhouette but wants a break from the classic red/black/white schemes. It's a great addition to the rotation. Sliding these on... 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"!
