Air jordan 11 low : Potential con? The "patent leather can be stiff" on some colorways [efn8a0zh]

It doesn’t wrap your foot like a knit or leather shoe might. For some people with wider feet, that side panel might cause pressure. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's something to know. Try them on if you can, especially around that midfoot area. Alright, so the box just arrived. First look? The "concord-inspired" color blocking on this Air Jordan 11 Low is just clean. The white leather upper feels premium right out of the box, and that patent leather mudguard... it's iconic, man. For $215, you expect quality, and the initial impression here is strong. The shape looks good - not too bulky for a low-top. Let's get these on foot. Alright, let's get these out of the box. First impression? The "air jordan 11 low" in Cool Grey looks even cleaner in hand. The build quality on this low-top version is, as expected, really solid – no glue stains or anything funky. That patent leather mudguard just pops against the suede. For $225, you're getting a piece of Jordan series history, but in a much more versatile low-cut form. On-foot, the comfort is... interesting! It's not ultra-soft like a modern runner. You feel that Air-Sole unit in the heel – it's firm but "responsive". For all-day wear? Maybe not the best. But for casual use or light activity, it's perfectly fine. The weight is reasonable; you don't feel anchored down. It's a classic Jordan basketball feel, adapted for the streets.
