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. The biggest advantage of this Air Jordan 11 Low model? Versatility, hands down. You can dress it up a bit more casually than the bulky highs. However – and this is real talk – that patent leather can crease. It's just part of the deal with this silhouette. If you're super fussy about creasing, maybe think twice. Let’s talk pros and cons. The major pro is versatility. This shoe works on-court for a casual game and looks even better off-court. The cons? Well, that famous patent leather can crease... and it’s a pain to clean if you get them really dirty. For $190, just know they might need a little extra care compared to some all-mesh sneakers. Walking around in them, the "Air Jordan 11 Low" is surprisingly light! The break-in period is real though; that patent leather collar can be stiff at first. The outsole traction is excellent on clean surfaces. Is it a performance beast in 2024? Probably not... but for casual wear and light hoops, it's more than capable. The style points are through the roof.
