First impression? The "air jordan 11 low" in Cool Grey looks even cleaner in hand. The build quality on this low-top version is, as expected, really solid – no glue stains or anything funky. That patent leather mudguard just pops against the suede. For $225, you're getting a piece of Jordan series history, but in a much more versatile low-cut form. 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. On feet, the Air Jordan 11 Low feels… familiar, yet different. The cushioning is the same great full-length Air unit from the mids, so comfort is excellent right out of the box. The low-cut design offers a different kind of freedom around the ankle, which I personally prefer for casual wear. If you're used to the high-top, this is a noticeably more relaxed fit & feel. Alright, let's get these open! First impression of the Air Jordan 11 Low 'Cement Grey'? Man, the shape is "so" classic. The low-top cut makes it look super clean, and that mix of ballistic mesh and patent leather just pops in hand. For $200, the initial quality seems really solid. Honestly, one of the best low-profile looks in the entire Jordan series.
