Most 11s use patent leather just on the mudguard, but here, it's the whole show. It makes the shoe feel more like a fashion piece than a court classic. At $225, it’s an investment in a statement. I love it for the uniqueness, but if you're after a more traditional, versatile 11 look—maybe go for a ‘Cool Grey’ or ‘Bred.’ This one’s for the bold. Now, a potential "con": the patent leather. Some people just don't like the creasing or the shiny look. Also, at this price point—$210—it's an investment. If you're new to Jordans, you might want a more neutral color first. The 'grand finale' is a statement, not a subtle everyday shoe. And remember, it's a women's size run, so sizing might be tricky for some. Comparing it to my other Jordan 11s? The main difference is obviously the suede/nubuck mudguard. Most 11s are all-patent leather there, so this 'Grand Finale' version feels more... mature? Subtle? It's a nice evolution while keeping the iconic look. The price jump is noticeable though—$225 USD vs. a standard retro. Let's talk "real" pros & cons. "Pro": The craftsmanship is top-tier. Stitching, leather quality—it's all there. "Con": That shiny patent leather? It's a fingerprint & scuff magnet, no question. Also, at $225, you're paying for the legacy & look, "not" groundbreaking tech. If you want modern bounce, this ain't it. The wmns air jordan 11 grand finale is about style first.
