Air jordan 11 low : Potential con? The "patent leather can be stiff" on some colorways [1qhrenfj]

It doesn’t wrap your foot like a knit or leather shoe might. For some people with wider feet, that side panel might cause pressure. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's something to know. Try them on if you can, especially around that midfoot area. Who are these for, honestly? I'd recommend the Air Jordan 11 Low to collectors who appreciate the model's history, and to style-focused folks wanting a statement sneaker. The 'Bred' lows? Iconic. They’re not really for performance basketball anymore, despite the DNA. And if you dislike stiff materials during break-in, you might struggle. Know what you're buying: a legend, adapted for lifestyle. Comparing it to other Jordans? For a low-top, the 11 Low feels more substantial than, say, a Jordan 1 Low. It's got more structure. Versus its big brother, the "Air Jordan 11" High, you lose some ankle presence (obviously) but gain a ton of everyday versatility. The high-top feels more "eventful," while this low version is pure, effortless style for daily wear. Sliding my foot into this Air Jordan 11 Low... wow, the lockdown is immediate. The padded collar hugs the ankle perfectly. It's a structured feel, not super plush, but very secure. Compared to a Jordan 1 Low, this feels more refined & technical around the foot. Honestly, a great first impression for fit – no heel slippage at all, which is a huge plus for me.
