The Igloo’s color palette is way chiller than a typical Bulls colorway. If you love the 11’s silhouette but want something "different" from the usual red/black/white, this "release" is a fantastic option. It feels fresh. Alright, first "impressions" out of the box? Wow. The "Air Jordan 11 Retro Igloo Release" is just... clean. The mix of that cool "Igloo" blue and the crisp white leather is "seriously" premium. Comparing this to other 11s, the lack of patent leather is a "major" shift, but the nubuck? It feels amazing to the touch. At $225 USD, the quality seems on point. A definite head-turner for any Jordan collection. Walking around in them, you "feel" the quality. The patent leather doesn't feel cheap, and the full-grain leather on the white panels is soft. It's a premium package. However, if you're used to modern, ultra-plush sneakers, the Air Jordan 11 Retro might feel a bit stiff & heavy. It's a different kind of comfort – more about support than sinking in. Alright, let's get into this "air jordan 11 retro igloo release". First impression? The icy blue translucent sole and that clean, "almost" pearlescent white upper just "pop" in-hand. The build quality on this Jordan 11 is fantastic, as usual. Unboxing it, you immediately see why this colorway is so hyped—it's a straight-up elegant shoe. If you're into clean, wintery aesthetics, this is a must-see.
