The patent leather on the Air Jordan 11 Low can feel stiff at first and might crease in a noticeable way. If you hate creases, this could bug you. Also, that icy blue outsole? It will yellow over time – it's just the nature of the material. Just something to be aware of before you cop. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 11 Low" has a stiffer feel than, say, an Air Jordan 1 Low. The cushioning is different—more stable. I'd pick this for comfort over long periods, but the AJ1 for that broken-in, soft feel right away. It’s a different vibe within the same legendary family. Who should maybe skip it? If you're solely after the most cushioned, cloud-like feel, look at something with more modern foam. Also, if you need a true performance basketball shoe – this is a retro lifestyle model now. And if $225 is just too much for a casual sneaker, that's totally fair. There are great Jordan options at lower price points. Alright, so first look at these Air Jordan 11 Low 'Concord' – wow. The box is classic, and pulling them out? That glossy patent leather cut "really" pops against the white. For a $200 shoe, the initial quality here feels "solid". Compared to the mids, the low-top cut immediately makes it feel more like a spring/summer shoe. On foot, they're true to size with that familiar, supportive 11 feel. A definite win for casual wear.
