Alright, let’s talk about my little adventure with those Jordan 11 Navy Blue Lows. I’ve been eyeing them for a while, and finally pulled the trigger last week. Figured I’d share my experience since I know a few of you have been asking about ’em.
First off, the unboxing. Nothing crazy, just the standard Nike box. But man, the shoes looked clean right out of the box. That navy blue patent leather just shines. I immediately laced ’em up – which, by the way, is always a little fiddly with 11s. Gotta make sure the laces are even and not too tight.
Then came the wear test. I decided to break ’em in with a pretty chill day. Started with a coffee run. Felt pretty good, not too stiff. The cushioning is decent, not as plush as some newer models, but definitely comfy enough for walking around.
Next, I took ’em to the park for a bit. Just walking around, kicking a ball with my little brother. This is where I started to notice a little bit of rubbing around my ankle. Nothing major, but definitely something to keep an eye on. I was wearing pretty thin socks, so that probably didn’t help.
Later that day, I wore ’em out to dinner. By this point, they were feeling pretty good. The ankle rubbing had subsided, and they were actually surprisingly comfortable. Plus, they looked fresh with my outfit – gotta love that versatility.
Now, a few things I learned:
- Socks are key. Thick socks are a must, especially when you’re breaking ’em in. I’m gonna try some thicker pairs next time I wear ’em for a longer period.
- Patent leather creases. It’s inevitable. I try to be careful, but they’re gonna crease eventually. Just gotta accept it.
- They run a little snug. I went true to size, but they definitely feel a little tighter than my other Jordans. If you’re between sizes, I’d recommend going up half a size.
Overall, I’m happy with the purchase. The Jordan 11 Navy Blue Low is a classic for a reason. They look great, they’re comfortable enough for everyday wear, and they’re a nice addition to my rotation. I’ll keep breaking ’em in and see how they hold up, but so far, so good.
I’ll keep you guys updated if anything changes, but that’s my initial take on ’em.
