The cushioning is that familiar - comfortable, but not super plush - feel of the 11. It's a low-top, so you lose a bit of that ankle lockdown from the mids, but man, they're light and easy to wear. The "Igloo" colorway is just "chef's kiss" in person, way better than pics. If you're debating between this and another white sneaker—consider the style. The "air jordan 11 retro low igloo" has more "character" than a plain leather shoe. The icy sole & Jumpman logo give it that sneakerhead cred. It's for someone who wants to stand out a bit, subtly. Not for the minimalist who wants to completely blend in. See? Different tools for different folks. So, wrapping up - the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Igloo gets a thumbs up from me. Great for style, easy to wear, and a nice twist on a classic. Just go in knowing the pros (looks, heritage) and the cons (potential sole yellowing, classic Jordan comfort). For the right person, this is a fantastic shoe. Hope this honest review helped you decide Comparing these to other Jordans... well, the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low sits lower than the mids, so it's less formal. Vs. something like a Jordan 1 Low, the 11 Low offers way more cushioning for sure. The 'Igloo' specifically is much easier to wear daily than, say, a Concord. It's a low-top summer shoe versus the high-top statement pieces. Different tools for different jobs!
