The carbon fiber plate provides great stability, which I appreciate. Compared to an AJ1, it's a more structured and supportive shoe. The major pro is its all-season, all-outfit versatility. The potential con? The icy blue outsole will yellow over time—it's inevitable. So, who should cop? Someone looking for a durable, stylish sneaker that's part of sneaker history. Not for those afraid of a little patina on their soles. From a collector's perspective, this 2021 (or later) release of the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey is a must. The colorway history is deep— it's a grail for many. Having it back in the rotation is special. The construction on my pair is flawless— no glue stains, clean stitching. It feels like a proper, high-quality retro. On foot, the Air Jordan 11 feels exactly how you remember. The full-length Air unit gives a nice, supportive cushion. It's not super plush like some modern sneakers, but it's reliable. For $225 USD, you're getting a legendary silhouette. The fit is true-to-size for me. Honestly, the main appeal here is the timeless look. The 'Cool Grey' AJ11 just goes with everything. Final verdict? For me, the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey is absolutely worth it. It's a timeless silhouette in one of its best colorways. The pros—versatility, iconic status, quality—far outweigh the cons for my needs. It’s not a perfect performance shoe, but as a style icon? It's a 10/10. Cop if you can
