The Air Jordan 11 silhouette is just recognisable. The cool grey color makes it a bit more subtle than some other Jordan series releases, which I prefer. At $225, it's an investment. My advice? If you've never owned an 11, this is a fantastic first one. The materials are great, and it's a true piece of sneaker history you can actually wear. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size for me. The initial feel is a bit stiff, as expected with any new Jordan 11. The patent leather needs a few wears to break in, but the overall lockdown is secure. Compared to, say, a more padded Jordan 1, the feel is more structured and supportive around the ankle. It's a distinct, iconic feel. Who is this shoe for? Honestly, for almost anyone. New sneakerheads: this is a quintessential piece. Veterans: it's a legendary retro. The "Air Jordan 11 "Cool Grey"" works for casual wear, for court aesthetics (I wouldn't ball in them now, though!). Not for minimalists who want a barefoot feel – this is a structured sneaker. At $225, it's a commitment, but you're getting a forever-flexible piece for your rotation. For sizing, I'd say go half a size up if you have wider feet. The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey is notorious for that narrow fit. Once you're in, though, the support is fantastic. They feel substantial, not heavy. This is a shoe built to last, both in construction and in style trends.
