5/10 for me. An amazing addition to the Jordan 11 lineage. The "Igloo" colorway is "special"—it stands out in a collection. Just know what you're getting: iconic style, not revolutionary comfort. If that fits your sneaker philosophy? Go for it. You'll love staring at your own feet. Who should maybe pass? If you prefer only neutral, easy-to-match kicks - this isn't your daily driver. The Igloo blue demands attention. Also, if you're new to Jordans and want a first pair, maybe start with a more classic color. This release feels like it's for the seasoned collector or the true 11 enthusiast. Final verdict? I love it. As a showpiece, it's a 10/10. The craftsmanship on this Jordan is fantastic. But — and it's a big but — your personal style matters most. Would I pay resale? Probably not, unless I was a die-hard 11 fan. For retail? Absolutely, if the color speaks to you. It's a beautiful, well-made shoe that perfectly executes a bold idea. Comparing it to other "Jordan 11" releases... This 'Igloo' sits in a unique spot. It's not a OG color-blocking, but it "feels" like it could have been, you know? It's cleaner than some of the recent loud collabs. Versus a pair of Jordans from the performance line, the tech is obviously dated, but the style is timeless. For a classic sneakerhead, this is a win.
