On camera or in person, that glossy upper "pops". It's a style that works decades later. However... that same patent leather can crease. If you're super obsessive about keeping kicks pristine, this might stress you out. Just being real with you. Who should "maybe" skip? If you need a super breathable summer shoe, look elsewhere. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot. You could get two great pairs for that. And if you hate noticeable creasing? This "Nike Air Jordan 11" patent leather will show wear. It's part of the character, but I know it bugs some people. Unboxing the Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' – that white and powder blue combination / it's absolutely beautiful. First wear? They're surprisingly light for their look. The silhouette is, hands-down, one of the best ever designed. However, keeping that white patent leather clean is a "real" chore. At $225, you're paying for that iconic look. I recommend these for special occasions / or collectors. Not the best choice / if you're rough on your shoes. Final thoughts: Who is this for? Collectors, basketball fans, anyone who appreciates iconic design. The "nike air jordan 11" is a must-have. Who should skip it? Folks on a tight budget, or those who treat their shoes harshly. You need to "baby" these. At $225, it's a purchase you want to last.
