The "Igloo release" is a perfect spring/summer flex. Who should skip it? Anyone on a tight budget, or folks who need a daily, durable workhorse shoe. This is a weekend, showcase piece. My final take? A beautiful execution, but know what you're buying into. On feet, the comfort is exactly what you expect from a "Jordan 11 retro" – fantastic! The cushioning is plush, and the fit is true to size for me. It's not the lightest shoe in the Jordan series, but you feel secure. The "Igloo release" has this cool, almost pearlized sheen on the patent leather that looks even better in natural light. If you love 11s, you'll adore wearing these. On the flip side, the "air jordan 11 retro igloo" might NOT be for everyone. If you need maximum comfort above all else, look elsewhere. If you're new to Jordans and want a first pair, I'd point you to a more classic colorway. Also, that light-colored nubuck and patent leather can be a nightmare to keep clean! You really have to baby this shoe, which isn't for everyone's lifestyle. On feet now, and wow – the fit is "exactly" what you expect from an 11. It's comfortable, with that plush inner sleeve giving a nice, secure hug around your ankle. The cushioning? It's good – not super bouncy, but definitely supportive for all-day wear. Stepping out in these, the 'Igloo' colorway is even better in natural light. If you're a fan of the Jordan 11 silhouette, this is a really special addition to the "Jordan series".
