The way the light hits the patent leather? Chef's kiss. They feel lighter and more breathable than the OG highs, which is a huge advantage in warmer weather. The main advantage is versatility — they dress up or down easily. The downside? That price point — around $200 USD is a commitment. I’d say it’s worth it for a timeless silhouette, but maybe wait for a sale if you're on the fence. Here's my real take: the Air Jordan 11 Low is a style "chameleon". This 'Cement Grey' pair? Super wearable. The patent leather adds a premium touch without being "too" flashy. Compared to bulkier Jordans, these feel lighter and more agile. Pros? Timeless aesthetics and durable materials. Cons? That patent can crease, no way around it. Worth $185? If you value versatility over hype, absolutely. Comparing it to the high-top "Jordan 11"? You lose some ankle lockdown, obviously, but you gain a ton of everyday versatility. 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. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 11 Low" is way more versatile for daily use than the bulkier mid-top 11s. It's also noticeably lighter and more breathable. Versus something like a Jordan 1 Low, the 11 Low offers superior cushioning, hands down. So if you prioritize comfort, this is a major upgrade from many other models in the Jordan series.
