The low profile is way easier to style with shorts. The iconic design elements are all there—the patent leather mudguard, the Jumpman—just in a more laid-back package. It’s a great alternative if you find the highs a bit too much. Now, a possible con? The support. It's a lifestyle shoe, first and foremost. If you're thinking about playing serious basketball in these 'Air Jordan 11 Lows', I'd advise against it. The low-cut and older tech won't give you the lockdown or cushioning of a modern performance model. For ball, stick to newer releases. On foot, the comfort is solid. It's not a "cloud-like" modern sneaker, but the cushioning is reliable for all-day wear. The "real" star is the look. The silhouette is just so recognizable and clean. Wearing the Air Jordan 11 Low, you feel that blend of sport and style that made the Jordan line so iconic. Honest take? I love the look, but I have to mention the break-in. The patent leather around the collar can be a "tiny" bit stiff at first—it might rub. It softens up after a few wears, but just a heads-up! Once broken in, the comfort is great. The "Air Jordan 11 Low" is that perfect blend of sporty and smart. You can dress it up a little, which is rare for a basketball sneaker.
