1) "Versatility" — This colorway is a wardrobe MVP. 2) "Material quality" — The suede/nubuck mix feels great & should age nicely. 3) "Timeless silhouette" — It's still an AJ 11, one of the most iconic sneakers ever. For a $225 retail price, you're getting a lot of shoe here — especially if you copped at retail. Who is this shoe for? Honestly, it’s for the collector or the Jordan 11 enthusiast who already has the classics and wants something different. The ‘Mojave’ is a perfect fall/winter colorway that stands out from the usual red, black, or white color schemes. It’s a statement, but a quiet one. Slipping these on - aha, that classic AJ11 fit. The patent leather mudguard gives that secure, locked-in feel around the midfoot, which I personally love. The suede is super soft, and the full-length Air unit – you know it's there. It's not the "softest" cushioning ever, but it's responsive and great for all-day wear. Honestly, one of the more comfortable Jordans. Here’s my take: the "Air Jordan 11 'Mojave'" is a grower. The more I look at it, the more I appreciate the color palette. It’s inspired by the desert, and it shows. On-feet, they're comfortable right out of the box. My main con? That light suede/nubuck might be a nightmare to keep clean – so if you're rough on your kicks, maybe think twice. But for careful wearers who love unique Jordans, this is a home run.
