The white upper is mostly leather and synthetic—it's fine. The patent leather is the star, as always with 11s. For $225, I wish they used slightly better materials? But hey, you're really paying for that iconic Jordan series silhouette and this coveted 'igloo' color-blocking. Comparing it to other Jordan 11s – obviously, the big difference is the low-top silhouette. If you love the 11 but find the high-tops restrictive, this Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Igloo is your answer. It retains the iconic shape and style but feels way more versatile for summer. It’s also lighter on foot than the OG version, which is a welcome change for casual sneakerheads. So, is it worth the $185? My take: Yes, if you'll wear them. They're a premium version of a classic. You're paying for the iconic silhouette and this specific, beautiful colorway. Don't buy them to stock on a shelf – the sole "will" yellow. Buy them to wear and enjoy. For a stylish, high-quality low-top Jordan, the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Igloo delivers exactly what it promises. Now, comparing it to other 11s... it's obviously way more casual than the OG Concord highs. But I'd stack it up against something like the DMP 11 Low. The 'Igloo' just feels more unique, more summer-ready. The low-cut gives you more ankle mobility, which is a big advantage for some people. Is it better than the highs? For everyday style – maybe!
