The way the light hits the patent leather? Chef's kiss. They feel lighter and more breathable than the OG highs, which is a huge advantage in warmer weather. The main advantage is versatility — they dress up or down easily. The downside? That price point — around $200 USD is a commitment. I’d say it’s worth it for a timeless silhouette, but maybe wait for a sale if you're on the fence. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 11 Low 'Black Cement'? First off, the box is classic – it just feels "special". The shoe itself? That iconic, sleek silhouette is 100% there. The color blocking is clean, the patent leather shines nicely, & the subtle cement print on the upper? A really nice touch. At around $185 USD, it's a premium Jordan price, but the presentation feels worth it so far. 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. But here’s the "real talk": The outsole on these Jordan 11 Lows... it yellows. Fast. If you’re a collector who wants to keep them icy forever, be prepared for a fight. Also, that patent leather can crease. It’s part of the charm for some, but if you’re super picky about keeping shoes pristine, it’s a consideration.
