You lose some of that iconic, basketball-high look and ankle lockdown, obviously. But what you gain is breathability and a style that works with shorts no problem. If you love the 11's style but find the highs a bit much, this Air Jordan 11 Retro Low is your answer. Major pro? The versatility. This "air jordan 11 retro low" is "way" easier to style with shorts or casual pants than the high-top. It's a summer-friendly Jordan. Plus, you still get that premium look and feel from the materials – the patent leather mudguard is a signature element that just works, even in this low form. Putting these Air Jordan 11 Retro Lows on... the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning isn't super plush; it's that familiar, firmer Air Jordan 11 feel, which I actually prefer for stability. The low-top cut, of course, gives you way more ankle mobility compared to the high-top version. It’s a great summer-friendly option from the Jordan series. The major pro here is obviously the style - it's an undeniable classic. The materials, from the patent leather to the mesh upper, feel premium for the price. However, a potential con for some - the outsole is still that translucent blue ice sole. It will yellow over time, no question. That's just part of the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low's life, but it's something to be aware of.
