It's easier to get on and off, and it's less restrictive around the ankle. For a summer sneaker at around $200 USD, the low-top version just makes sense. You still get all the iconic design cues, just in a more wearable package. 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. The biggest advantage of this Air Jordan 11 Low model? Versatility, hands down. You can dress it up a bit more casually than the bulky highs. However – and this is real talk – that patent leather can crease. It's just part of the deal with this silhouette. If you're super fussy about creasing, maybe think twice. Unboxing this new "Air Jordan 11 Low" and my first thought is: "Wow, the materials." The leather feels plush. These are a solid part of the "Jordan" series for a reason. On foot, they're not the lightest shoe, but the cushioning makes up for it. They look incredible on camera—the shape is timeless. Honestly, the biggest advantage is their year-round wearability. The potential downside? The price tag—over $200 is steep. For a collector or a fan of the model, 100% yes. For a first-time buyer, maybe try an older colorway on sale.
