I'd recommend "trying these on" first if you can. The patent leather overlay isn't super forgiving width-wise. It might feel snug initially. For everyone else, TTS should work. The insole is decent, but serious all-day comfort seekers might want to add their own orthotics. Still, as a style-first shoe, it's incredibly solid. Listen, the main "pro" for any Air Jordan 11 Low is the style. It’s an undisputed classic that works with almost anything - shorts, jeans, joggers. The patent leather gives it that formal-ish touch, making it more than just a sneaker. It’s a fashion piece, and for $200+, that’s what you’re paying for. Finally, the "Air Jordan 11 Low "Pure Violet"" – now this is a fun one! The violet patent leather is vibrant & unique. Unboxing it brought a smile; it's not your everyday color. On-feet feel is consistent: great lockdown, comfortable for walking. Visually, it's a head-turner for sure. The "main benefit"? It fills a niche for a colorful, yet premium, low-top sneaker in the "Jordan" line. The "trade-off"? It's a very specific color, so styling can be trickier than with neutrals. Priced at $185, I'd recommend this to collectors who have the core colors & want something different, or to anyone whose wardrobe has purples & greys. Not a first "11 low" pick for most, but a great addition. Let's talk looks: this shoe is a camera magnet. The way the patent leather catches the light? "Chef's kiss". Wearing these with shorts or jeans just works. However, that shiny upper is a scratch magnet — it's a fact! If you're rough on your shoes, maybe think twice. For me, the "Air Jordan 11 Low" is a special-occasion sneaker, not a daily beater.
