Also, if you're really rough on your shoes, the patent leather might show wear quickly. And, for the $185 USD price, if you're on a tight budget & just want "a sneaker," there are more comfortable options. This is for the style-conscious fan. Here’s a real pro: durability. The materials on this "Air Jordan 11 Low" are tank-like. That patent leather won’t crease like standard leather, and the mesh upper is sturdy. For a low-top, it feels substantial. However—and this is a big one—the break-in period can be real. That stiff patent leather needs some time to mold to your foot. Don't expect cloud-like comfort right out of the box. The "air jordan 11 low "cool grey"" is back! Opening these, the all-grey palette is so smooth & uniform. The quality of the patent leather? On point. Slipping them on, they feel fantastic—a perfect blend of structure & comfort. Compared to the "Cool Grey 4s", this is a much more formal-looking sneaker, in my opinion. The "advantage" is its ultimate versatility & that premium, monochromatic look. A "real talk" point: because it's all one light color, scuffs on the patent leather might show more easily. For ~$185, it's a wardrobe staple. Ideal for minimalists & fans of grey-toned fits. Not ideal if you're looking for a high-contrast, eye-catching shoe. 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.
