If you have a wider foot, you might need to go up half a size. Also, that high-gloss patent leather... it "will" crease. Some people hate that, but I think it adds character. Just know, this isn't a shoe you can really "beat up" without it showing wear. Here's a "real point" though: the patent leather upper. It's gorgeous, but it "will" crease. That's just the nature of this material. If you're someone who wants a shoe to stay pristine forever, this might give you anxiety. For me? I think the character it adds is worth it. The "Gamma Blue" colorway is just too iconic to keep in the box. Sliding these on for the first time... wow. The fit is true to size for me, and that plush inner sleeve gives an instant, comfortable hug around your ankle. The full-length Air unit — while not super modern — offers a nice, balanced cushion. It's not ultra-bouncy, but for casual wear or light ball, the "gamma blue" 11s feel fantastic right away. Let's talk looks — this colorway is stealthy yet loud? In certain light, the Gamma Blue looks almost black, then "bam", it shines. The contrast with the icy outsole is "chef's kiss". Compared to, say, a Concord, it's a more modern, aggressive vibe. Major pro: its versatility with jeans or sweats. The main con? That patent leather WILL crease. It's part of the deal, but something to know.
