The "Air Jordan 11" offers more court-feel. Versus a recent Retro, the build here feels excellent. The Cool Grey colorway is also way more versatile for daily wear than a loud, OG Bulls colorway, in my opinion. Now, potential downsides – and I gotta keep it real. That patent leather? It can crease. It’s just part of the deal with this model. Also, the fit can be narrow for some folks. If you have wide feet, you might want to try a half-size up. And while the cushioning is good, if you're used to modern, ultra-soft foam tech, the Air Jordan 11 might feel a bit firm at first. It's breaking in period, for sure. Let's talk comfort. The full-length air unit in the Air Jordan 11 is decent, but let's be real—it's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers. The cushioning is supportive, not super bouncy. If you're looking for all-day, cloud-like comfort, this might not be your first pick. But for style? It's almost unbeatable. Alright, let's get into these! The "first" thing you notice unboxing the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey is just how clean that color-blocking is. The matte grey nubuck against the shiny patent leather? "Iconic". For $225, the materials feel premium right out of the box. This is a classic Jordan silhouette, and this 2021 version nails the look. My initial impression? Absolute fire.
