If you appreciate sneaker history and clean design, this is a must. It's a legacy piece in the Jordan series that never goes out of style. Putting these on... wow. The fit is snug, true to size, with that iconic supportive feel. The carbon fiber plate really locks your foot in. Compared to a more modern Jordan, like a 36 or 37, the cushioning feels firmer – it’s that classic ‘90s court feel. But for an 11? This is exactly what I expected. Is the Air Jordan 11 'Cool Grey' worth the hype? For me, yes. Seeing it in-hand, the color blocking is perfection. It retails for $225 USD, which is standard for a retro J these days. It's not a shoe for wide feet—it runs a bit narrow. But if it fits you well, you're getting a timeless design that always looks fresh. It's a solid 9/10 for a classic sneaker. 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.
