First impression? The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey just looks "incredible"— right out of the box. The mix of that cool grey suede and the white midsole is so clean, so classic. The patent leather— or "mudguard"— has a perfect sheen. For $225, this Jordan series release feels premium. The silhouette is instantly recognizable, iconic. A fantastic start. Is it worth the price? At $225, it's a premium Jordan, no question. Here's my take: The pro is its absolute versatility. Grey goes with everything. The con? That patent leather can crease, and it's a magnet for scuffs if you're not careful. If you're a collector, this is a must-have. If you just want a beater shoe, maybe look elsewhere. Who is this for? Honestly, for anyone who appreciates sneaker history and wants a "versatile" grail. If you missed the 2001 or 2010 releases, this 2021 retro is your chance. It’s for the person who wants one amazing pair of Jordans that goes with everything. The "Cool Grey" 11 is a cornerstone shoe. To wrap it up, this is a stellar retro. The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey lives up to the hype in my book. It looks great on foot, feels fantastic, and works for so many occasions. It’s a solid 9/10 from me. Definitely check it out if you get the chance!
