Also, if you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot. You could get two great pairs for that. And if you hate noticeable creasing? This "Nike Air Jordan 11" patent leather will show wear. It's part of the character, but I know it bugs some people. Reviewing the 'Cap and Gown' Air Jordan 11. All-black everything – so sleek. Out of the box, the matte finish on the patent leather is super unique. On feet, they're comfortable and surprisingly versatile for a dark shoe. The pro is the stealthy, sophisticated aesthetic. The con? The all-black can mask some of the shoe's famous design lines. Versus a Jordan 13, the 11 is less techy-looking and more elegant. Priced at the standard $225, this is a great option for someone who wants a formal-ish sneaker. Not the best choice if you want your Js to pop with color. Is it worth the hype & price? For me, "yes". The comfort level is high, the style is unbeatable, and it's a pillar of the Jordan series. You're buying an icon. I'd say, if you find it for retail or a decent price, go for it. Just know the patent leather requires a bit of care. This "Cherry" colorway, especially, is a "vibrant" standout. Let's talk about the Air Jordan 11 'IE' low. Different vibe from the classic high-top! Opening the box, the mesh upper is a standout – much more breathable. Slip them on, and wow, they're noticeably lighter. Perfect for summer. The pro here is definitely the unique look and comfort for warmer weather. The con? You lose some of that iconic high-top ankle support. If you compare it to the OG Air Jordan 11, it's a totally different wearing experience. Priced around the same $225 mark, I'd say grab these if you want 11 style with a low-profile feel. Not for purists who need the high-top.
