Performance basketball players? Obviously, go for a modern high-top. And if you're really rough on your shoes and hate visible creasing on that shiny patent leather, that could be a dealbreaker. It's a lifestyle shoe at its core. So, would I personally cop? Yeah, I already did! This 'Black Cement' Air Jordan 11 Low is staying in my collection. It fills that "iconic but wearable" slot perfectly. It's not trying to be something it's not – it's a faithful, low-top translation of a legend. For that, it gets a thumbs up from me. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments! Comparing it to other Lows in the Jordan line, like the 1 or the 3, the "Air Jordan 11 Low" has a much more "structured" feel. It's less forgiving. The pros? Unmatched silhouette and timeless appeal. The cons? That price tag ($225+) and the potential for creasing. It's a trade-off for owning a piece of sneaker history. On the flip side, who might wanna pass? If you prioritize ultra-plush, modern cushioning above all, look elsewhere. Performance basketball players should probably go for newer models. Also, if you're on a tight budget, the $215 entry fee is steep. And if you're super rough on your shoes, that pristine patent leather might stress you out!
