We "all" know it's prone to yellowing over time. It's the trade-off for the look. Also, if you prefer super-soft, modern cushioning, the 11's tech might feel a bit dated. The "igloo release" is for style & collectors, "not" for performance basketball or max comfort seekers. Let's talk pros. The major advantage of "any" 11 is its iconic design, and this 'Igloo' is a great, wearable execution. Durability is usually high, the materials are easy to wipe clean. It's a shoe you can wear casually for years. The comfort is consistent — no break-in pain for me. For a "Jordan" retro, it delivers exactly what long-time fans expect from this legendary model. On feet now, and the fit is "true" to size for me — which is great! The comfort is exactly what you expect from the "Jordan 11 retro": good cushioning, a snug heel lockdown thanks to that inner sleeve. They're not the lightest shoes, "obviously", but that's part of the 11's DNA. The Igloo colorway just pops when you're walking; it’s definitely a head-turner. Season-wise, this is a spring/summer superstar in my book. That icy blue and white combo just screams warmer weather. A downside? Keeping that white upper clean might become a part-time job... so maybe avoid muddy parks? Still, a stunning seasonal shoe from the Jordan series.
