Versus other Jordan lows, like a 1 or a 4, the 11 Low has a much more streamlined, almost dress-shoe-like profile. The patent leather on this Air Jordan 11 Low really sets it apart and gives it that premium feel. Sizing tip: I went true to size in the Air Jordan 11 Low, and it's perfect. The insole is decent, arch support is good for casual use – don't ball in these, though. The 'Cool Grey' colorway is "so" smooth in person, way better than pics. It's a lifestyle shoe through and through. At ~$200, it's an investment, but you're paying for an iconic Jordan series silhouette that just works. Great summer rotation piece. Who might wanna pass? If pure, max cushion comfort is your #1 priority, look elsewhere. Also, if you're really rough on your shoes, the patent leather might show wear quickly. And, for the $185 USD price, if you're on a tight budget & just want "a sneaker," there are more comfortable options. This is for the style-conscious fan. Comparing it to other Jordan lows... The AJ11 Low has a distinct, structured feel compared to, say, an AJ1 Low, which is more flexible. The 11's silhouette is unique. Is it worth the $215 price tag? If you love the model and this colorway, absolutely. The craftsmanship and legacy justify it. But if you're just looking for any comfortable low-top, there are cheaper options.
