The Nike Air Jordan XI Low is the low-top version of MJ’s eleventh signature sneakers. The earliest model from this series is the Air Jordan Original XI Low I.E. Black/Red. However, the difference today is the featured patent leather, coming in as a direct descendant of the Air Jordan XI which was originally released in 1995, and was worn many times by the king, Michael Jordan in the court. The present look and feel of the Air Jordan XI Low came into its final form during the retro treatment that started in 2001.
Pros
Having been loved and anticipated by fans for more than 20 years, the Nike Air Jordan XI Low is a pair of sneakers that you can never go wrong with its flair and quality. The timeless silhouette comes with an upper portion, tongue, and lace straps made from robust soft leather. Branding is everywhere from the middle and back of the tongue to the insole and back heel.
The Air Jordan XI Low is simply one of those sneakers that is handsome in its own right. The patented leather not only provides contrast but also bounces light beautifully, creating graceful action as you move. This model comes in a bunch of colorways for both men and women.
Cons
Like most Nike Air Jordan’s, the XI Low needs breaking in until you get that comfy sweet spot. Aside from that, it can sometimes feel stuffy inside. The double branding in the back—the number 23 and the jump man symbol together—can be a little too much for a few. Other than those, the Air Jordan XI Lows are fresh kicks to add to your collection.
