First impression of the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey? That iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". The mix of premium ballistic mesh & that cool grey patent leather is super clean. At $225, the materials feel right. It’s a timeless Jordan series colorway—super versatile straight out of the box. A solid start. On feet, the "Air Jordan 11 'Cool Grey'" is a statement. The silhouette is just so sleek. In natural light, the different grey tones really play off each other. It's a shoe that looks great with jeans or shorts. Honestly, the visual appeal is a massive pro for this release. It’s a head-turner, for sure. However— and this is real— the patent leather can be a bit stiff at first. It might crease in a specific way, which some collectors hate. Also, the outsole is a fingerprint magnet! If you like your kicks spotless, be prepared for constant wiping. The $225 price tag is steep, but for this iconic re-release, many will find it justified. Slipping these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 11" has a unique feel: supportive, with a nice cushioned ride from that Air unit. They're not the "lightest" shoes out there—you definitely feel the structure—but that's part of the iconic "11" silhouette. The lockdown around the ankle and midfoot is really secure right out of the gate.
