The main one for me is the break-in period – these felt stiff initially. Also, that beautiful icy outsole will 100% oxidize and yellow over time; it's just the nature of the material. And at $225, it's a significant investment for a shoe that, let's be real, is more about style than all-day comfort. It's not for someone on a tight budget. Gotta point out—this is a women's release, but the sizing runs generous. My fellow fellas, don't sleep if you find your size! The design itself is very clean & neutral. The pearlized upper is the main event, and honestly, it elevates the whole shoe. It's not "just" another white 11, you feel me? So, would I cop? Yes—especially if you value versatile colorways. This "Jordan series" release nails the balance between heritage and a fresh, modern finish. It's not the flashiest, but sometimes that's the point. A classy, well-done shoe that'll look great for years. Thumbs up from me! So, is it worth the $225? For me, yes—if you love the 11 silhouette & want a unique, premium-looking colorway. The "wmns Air Jordan 11 Grand Finale" execution is top-notch. It's a celebration shoe. But if you need a daily beater or prefer louder colors, your money might be better spent elsewhere. It's a specific vibe.
