i would imagine front, but these in no way look like an 11 inch rise... an 11 inch rise is usually almost at your belly button
The measurements on a pair of jeans can be deceiving, and are not always a good indication of fit. If a designer says that they are mid/low rise, and you've seen fit pics, trust that. People's bodies vary considerably, but at least you are seeing the jeans, shirt, etc... worn by a real, live, person (again, there are exceptions. You can't tell what you will look like in a piece from any of Oak's pictures, unless you are very skinny and constantly vogue-ing.) Rise, waist, etc... are measured flat, but your ass is in 3-D, excepting some of the waifs on SZ and Sufu (I call these the skinniest, weakest ass ninjas ever.) Even if you were given a full set of measurements (hehe, retailers are going to hate you if you ask for some of these), including the seat, the difference between the back and front rise, and so on, nothing really compares to being able to try a pair of jeans on in person, or, barring that, good fit pictures.
