My pair's craftsmanship is on point, no glue stains. At $225, you're paying for that legacy & premium materials. However, that icy sole? It will yellow — no escaping it. If that bothers you, maybe look at a solid-rubber sole Jordan. For me, the aesthetic is worth the eventual patina. Now, a potential con: the patent leather. It's gorgeous, but it "will" crease—it's just the nature of the material. If you're super fussy about keeping your sneakers pristine, this might stress you out. Also, the fit can be narrow for some. If you have wider feet, you might wanna try a half-size up. Who is this for? Honestly, for the "sneakerhead" who appreciates "design details". The way the "gamma blue" hits on the "Jumpman", the "outsole", and the "logo" on the heel—it's "cohesive". It’s also for anyone who wants a "Jordan" that isn't red, black, or white. It’s a "confident", slightly different choice from the typical color palette. Now, the not-so-perfect stuff. The patent leather creases — it's inevitable, so if that bothers you, be warned. Also, that firm cushioning? Not for everyone. If you're used to Boost or React, these will feel stiff. At $225 USD, it's a premium price for a retro model. The "Jordan series" has more comfortable daily options, let's be real.
