The potential downside of any Air Jordan 11 Low is that patent leather collar. It can crease, & for some people, that's a deal-breaker. It's also not a performance basketball shoe anymore, so don't expect modern court tech. If you're looking for a hyper-supportive hoop shoe, this "probably" isn't your first pick. Walking around in them, the "Air Jordan 11 Low" is surprisingly light! The break-in period is real though; that patent leather collar can be stiff at first. The outsole traction is excellent on clean surfaces. Is it a performance beast in 2024? Probably not... but for casual wear and light hoops, it's more than capable. The style points are through the roof. Potential con? The "patent leather can be stiff" on some colorways. 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. Compared to my Air Jordan 1 Lows, the 11 Low has a "totally" different vibe – it's sleeker, more futuristic (for its time). The cushioning setup is also different; less board-like, more responsive. Major pro? That iconic look gets compliments every time. Potential con? The price is steep for a low-top sneaker. If you love the 11's design language but want a less formal feel, this is your model.
