That beautiful, high-cut patent leather? It "will" crease. It's just the nature of the material. If you're someone who can't stand any wear on your sneakers, this might stress you out. Also, at $225 USD, it's a significant investment for a shoe that's pretty bold color-wise. 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. So, my personal recommendation? If you value versatility & iconic design over hype, this is a sneaker worth grabbing. It's a strong, stylish entry in the "Jordan 11 Retro" lineage. Just go in knowing the care it might need & the classic (not ultra-soft) feel. For me? It’s a definite keeper in the collection. What do you guys think? Let me know down below! On feet, in natural light? The "Igloo" blue is even cooler. It's not too loud, but it definitely makes a statement. The way the patent leather reflects light is just "chef's kiss". This is a shoe that looks great on-camera and in-person. Compared to a standard Concord or Cool Grey, this release feels more like a special, wearable piece of art.
