It's for the person who doesn't mind the extra care the patent leather demands. Who is it "not" for? Someone seeking a subtle, everyday beater sneaker – this ain't that. Also, if you prefer matte or suede finishes over high-shine, this colorway might be too much for your taste. Who is this shoe for? Honestly, it's for the Jordan 11 fan who missed it the first time around (2013!). It's for someone who wants a head-turning sneaker that isn't the usual red or black. If you appreciate iconic basketball silhouettes and don't mind a bit of shine, the mens Air Jordan 11 retro gamma blue is a must-consider. It's a piece of sneaker history. Who's this for? Honestly, Jordan collectors first. If you missed the 2013 release, here's your chance. It's also for anyone who loves the 11 silhouette but wants something different from the usual red/black/white combos. The Gamma Blue is a grail for many. Comparing it to other Jordans? Well, the 11 is in its own league comfort-wise compared to, say, an AJ1 or an AJ4. It's a more modern-feeling shoe, even as a retro. And within the 11 family, this "Gamma Blue" colorway is up there with the Concords and Breds for me. It's just iconic? It has that "grail" energy for a lot of collectors.
