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. On camera? This "'Igloo'" colorway "pops". The subtle blue against the white is "incredibly" versatile. It doesn't scream for attention like a 'Concord,' but it has this... sophisticated, icy vibe? My "favorite" detail is the icy blue outsole—it just ties everything together so well. For photography or casual fits, this Jordan is a "winner". Conversely, who might want to pass? If you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable Jordans out there. If you need ultimate, cloud-like comfort from the first step, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer sneakers that are super easy to clean... maybe consider a leather version instead. This "air jordan 11 retro igloo release" requires a bit of love to keep fresh. 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.
