.. it yellows. Fast. If you’re a collector who wants to keep them icy forever, be prepared for a fight. Also, that patent leather can crease. It’s part of the charm for some, but if you’re super picky about keeping shoes pristine, it’s a consideration. Walking around in these "Air Jordan 11 Low "Platinum Tint"" shoes, I appreciate the breathability—the mesh upper is great for warmer weather. The icy blue outsole is a beautiful detail. The shoe feels durable and well-put-together. It’s a fantastic summer iteration of an all-time classic. I’d recommend this to anyone wanting a premium, low-key yet standout sneaker for their rotation. Probably not the best for wide feet, as the midfoot area is quite structured. Just something to consider! 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 this to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 11 Low sits in a sweet spot. It has the same iconic look as the AJ11 high, but it's way more casual and breathable for summer. Versus something like a Jordan 1 Low, the 11 Low offers more tech (that Air cushioning) and a distinctly different, more performance-born aesthetic. For ~$185, you're paying for that legacy and specific style. It's not the most comfortable shoe in the Jordan series, but it's far from the worst.
