If you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot. Also, if you're rough on your shoes, the patent leather might stress you out. It’s not a daily beater kind of shoe. On feet, under studio lights, this colorway pops just enough. It's not flashy, but the materials have a great sheen. Compared to the Concord or Bred colorways, the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey is arguably more wearable daily. It's a subtle flex, which I personally prefer. The design is just flawless from every angle. On foot, the Air Jordan 11 feels exactly how you remember. The full-length Air unit gives a nice, supportive cushion. It's not super plush like some modern sneakers, but it's reliable. For $225 USD, you're getting a legendary silhouette. The fit is true-to-size for me. Honestly, the main appeal here is the timeless look. The 'Cool Grey' AJ11 just goes with everything. Now, the potential cons, because no shoe is perfect. That patent leather can crease—it's just a fact of life with this model. Also, if you have a wider foot, the fit can feel a bit restrictive in the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey" isn't the most "breathable" shoe either, so maybe not your first pick for super hot summer days.
