The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey lives up to the hype in my book. It looks great on foot, feels fantastic, and works for so many occasions. It’s a solid 9/10 from me. Definitely check it out if you get the chance! Who might want to skip it? If you're solely chasing the most modern, cloud-like cushioning for all-day comfort, other shoes do that better. Also, if you prefer a more minimalist, low-profile sneaker, the 11's higher cut and bold patent leather might feel a bit much. It's a specific look and feel that, while iconic, isn't for absolutely everyone. However— and this is real— the patent leather can be a bit stiff at first. It might crease in a specific way, which some collectors hate. Also, the outsole is a fingerprint magnet! If you like your kicks spotless, be prepared for constant wiping. The $225 price tag is steep, but for this iconic re-release, many will find it justified. Let's be real - the "biggest" pro of this shoe is its "timelessness". The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey won't go out of style. It's been re-released for a reason. The con? That beautiful nubuck upper is a magnet for dirt and water stains. You gotta be "somewhat" careful with these. They're durable, but not exactly beaters. Keep that in mind before you cop.
