Also, if you’re on a tight budget, $225 is a serious investment for a shoe you might not "ball" in. This is more of a style-and-heritage piece from the Jordan series than a performance monster. Trying these on, the lockdown is great. However, the break-in period is real – they're stiff at first! Once they mold to your foot, it's a good feel. Visually, the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey just works. It’s perfect for someone who wants a iconic sneaker without screaming for attention. On foot, the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey feels... well, like an 11. It’s not the most plush Jordan ever - the cushioning is "firm", but in a good, supportive way for hoops or all-day wear. The fit is snug, especially in the midfoot due to that patent leather cage. If you have wider feet, you "might" wanna consider going half a size up. The weight is decent, not too heavy. Now, a potential con? The fit can be narrow, especially in the toe box. If you have wider feet, you might want to try a half-size up - it's something to consider. Also, that patent leather can crease, which bothers some people (though I think it adds character). At $225, it's a premium price, so it's an investment piece, not an impulse buy.
