The Gamma Blue specifically is louder than a bred or cement colorway. It's for when you "want" that attention. Personally, I prefer this over some of the recent 11 releases — the color blocking is just "so" clean. Slipping these on for the first time... wow. The comfort of the Air Jordan 11 is just legendary. That full-length Air unit gives you that perfect blend of cushion and response. The inner sleeve hugs your foot nicely. Compared to a firmer model like the AJ4, the mens Air Jordan 11 retro gamma blue feels much more forgiving for all-day wear. It's a premium on-foot experience, no doubt. Potential CON for some? That "same" patent leather. It can crease, and some folks just don't like the shiny look for daily wear. Also, the traction on the icy sole? Great on clean courts, but outdoors it will yellow "fast" and pick up dirt. The mens air jordan 11 retro demands a bit of care, honestly. Wow, just unboxed the mens air jordan 11 retro gamma blue, and that color... is "immediately" stunning. The contrast between the dark patent leather and that icy blue outsole is legendary. For a retro at around $225, the initial craftsmanship feels solid – no glue stains jumping out at me. This is a "proper" Jordan 11 release.
