It's not a flat white; it has this gorgeous, subtle sheen. The quality? Fantastic. That iconic AJ11 shape & patent leather mudguard look so clean. At $225 USD, it’s a premium release, but the first impression is solidly luxurious. Definitely a standout in the Jordan series this season. So, would "I" buy it again? Knowing what I know now... yes. As a fan of the Jordan series, having this unique pearlized iteration is special. It’s a piece of art. Just don't expect it to look this clean after 20 wears without some serious TLC. For $225 USD, you get a "showstopper". Hope this honest review helps you decide! On feet, this colorway is even better. The "Pearl" effect has this subtle shimmer that looks amazing in natural light - it's not "too" loud. It's a super versatile white-based sneaker. Compared to other "Jordan 11" releases, this "Grand Finale" tribute is way more wearable than some of the louder colorways. Big plus: it goes with "almost" anything in your wardrobe. A clean, elegant win for the "Jordan series". Major pro for me: the versatility of this white-based colorway. You can dress it up a bit or keep it casual. The quality seems on point, no glue issues I can see. However – and this is a big one – that beautiful pearlized finish might be prone to creasing, just like regular patent leather. Something to consider.
