The care needed for the patent leather is real. Also, if loud colors aren't your thing, the Gamma Blue will definitely feel like "too much." It's a statement piece, not a subtle one. So, should YOU cop? If you love the 11 silhouette and this color speaks to you, go for it. The quality is there. But if you're hesitant on the color or need an everyday beater, this might not be it. For me, unboxing and lacing up the "Gamma Blue" 11s was a win. Final verdict? I'm really impressed. It lives up to the hype for me. The look, the comfort, the classic 11 feel—it's all there. If you've been waiting for the Gamma Blues to return, you won't be disappointed. Just know what you're getting: a premium, slightly warm, absolutely stunning piece of Jordan history. Thumbs up from me Who is this for? Definitely for the "Jordan" collector who missed the 2013 drop. It's for someone who appreciates iconic silhouettes with a bold twist. If you love shoes that make a statement without being overly loud, the "Gamma Blue" colorway is perfect. It’s a wearable piece of sneaker history.
