It's not the most technological shoe in 2024, but it doesn't need to be. The design, the legacy, the sheer style… it all comes together. A definitive recommend for fans of the series. What do you guys think? Worth the price? For a collector or a true fan of the model… yes. You’re paying for the legacy, the iconic design, and a colorway that simply doesn’t go out of style. Would I recommend paying "over" retail? That’s a personal call, but at retail, this Cool Grey is an absolute win in my book. Who should "maybe" pass? If you need ultra-soft, cloud-like comfort, look at New Balances or modern Adidas. If you're on a tight budget, $225 is a lot. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers, the 11's high-cut might feel restrictive. It's a specific feel that isn't for everyone, and that's okay! Comparing it to other 11s—like the 'Concord' or 'Bred'—the 'Cool Grey' is arguably more wearable daily. It’s less loud, you know? It has that same legendary silhouette, but the muted colorway makes it easier to style. If you love the AJ11 shape but want something subtle, this Air Jordan 11 'Cool Grey' is a top contender.
