The patent leather is glossy without being cheap-looking, and the ballistic mesh is durable. It's a shoe built to last, and the 'Cool Grey' color hides minor scuffs really well. Cons? That same patent leather can crease, and the icy outsole will yellow over time – it's just the nature of the beast with this model. So, is the "Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey" worth it? For me, yes. If you appreciate iconic silhouettes and want a shoe you can wear often, this is a great pick. The quality justifies the price for a collector or a fan. It's a wearable piece of art, not just another sneaker. Slipping these on… wow. The fit is snug, but not uncomfortable. The patent leather wrap provides great lockdown. Cushioning feels good—not ultra-soft like some modern shoes, but that plush Air unit in the heel is definitely there. For all-day wear? I think the air jordan 11 cool grey will break in nicely. Love the feel. Slipping these on... the fit is "classic" 11\. You get that nice, secure wrap around the midfoot, and the patent leather cage does its job. They're not the lightest shoes ever, but you definitely feel that quality. The full-length Air unit? Still provides a great, cushioned step. It's a comfortable, "elevated" basketball sneaker feel.
