Bottom line
Like most retro Air Jordan basketball shoes (e.g. Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 11), the Fila 96 Low is a stylish and comfortable basketball shoe that will take you back to the good old ‘90s. At this point, it is hard to tell if these low-top basketball sneakers are any good on-court. However, players can pretty much expect more of the same as its mid-top counterpart since the only difference is the shoe’s cut. Overall, the low-top version of the Fila 96 is a must-try sneaker especially if you are a fan of Grant Hill.
