It can crease, and it doesn't really "break in" like leather. Some people "hate" that. Also, the outsole is a fingerprint magnet & picks up dust easily. Comfort-wise, if you're used to Boost or React foam, this might feel a bit stiff initially. The Air Jordan 11 Low isn't trying to be a cloud – it's about style & heritage. 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. Final take? The Air Jordan 11 Low remains a cornerstone of the Jordan brand. It bridges the gap between a performance legacy and streetwear essential. My pair feels great, looks incredible on foot, and gets compliments. Just go in knowing its quirks, and you’ll love it. Who might want to pass? If you're strictly a performance basketball player – this isn't your primary shoe in 2024. Tech has moved on. Also, if you prefer ultra-boosty, super-soft cushioning underfoot, this might feel a bit firm. And, if you're on a tight budget – at ~$210 USD – it's an investment piece. It's not for the minimalist or pure-performance seeker.
