There's no heel slip for me. The weight is reasonable; it feels substantial but not heavy. A real advantage is how easy these are to style. A potential downside? The price point at $195 feels steep for the tech you get, but you're really paying for the design icon status. Let's compare for a second. Versus the high-top AJ11? You're obviously losing that iconic collar, but gaining versatility. It's less of a "statement" and more of an everyday shoe. Compared to something like a Jordan 1 Low, the "Air Jordan 11 Retro Low" has more tech (that carbon fiber plate!) and a distinct, chunkier sole profile. Different vibes entirely. Comparing it to other Jordans... it’s less bulky than a "Jordan 4" and more breathable than many. The "Air Jordan 11 Retro Low" sits in a sweet spot: iconic looks without being too cumbersome. I think it bridges the gap between a true collector's item and a practical, wearable sneaker better than most retros. Wearing these around for a bit, the weight is nice – not too heavy, not too light. You feel planted. A minor downside I noticed: the heel can slip "just a tad" if you don't lace them up snugly. Not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning. Compared to other Jordan lows, like the 1s, the 11 retro low offers a much more structured and unique look. It stands out in a good way.
