The mix of that bold "Gamma" blue patent leather against the black mesh & dull upper is just "chef's kiss". It's a Jordan 11, so the silhouette is instantly iconic, & the construction feels really solid. For around $225, you're getting that premium AJ11 feel right out of the box, no doubt. Sliding these on... "wow", the fit is snug & secure, true to size. The inner bootie provides a nice, "locked-in" feel around the ankle.
