The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey lives up to the hype for me. It looks incredible on foot, it has that special "event" feel whenever you wear it, and it connects you to sneaker history. It's not perfect – no shoe is – but its strengths are iconic. If this silhouette and colorway speak to you, you won't be disappointed. Just maybe wear thick socks the first few times! Sliding these on... wow, the fit is "snug" – in a good way. The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey has that classic, supportive feel around the collar and midfoot. It's not the "most" cushioned shoe ever, but that full-length Air unit gives you a nice, stable ride. They feel a bit stiff at first, but you know they'll break in beautifully. True to size for me. Conversely, who might want to pass? If you prioritize maximum, plush cushioning above all else, other models (or brands) might serve you better. Also, if you're looking for a loud, statement-making sneaker, this subdued grey might feel too quiet for you. The "Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey" is about elegance, not screaming for attention. On foot now — the fit is true to size for me. The patent leather / mesh upper combo gives a "surprisingly" supportive wrap around the midfoot. They're not the lightest shoe in the world (I mean, it's an "air jordan 11"), but the weight feels solid, not clunky. Comfort is good right out of the box.
