It's just part of the deal with this model. Also, if you prefer a super soft, sink-into-your-feet kind of comfort, the Jordan 11's firmer ride might not be for you. It's a court feel, not a cloud feel. Just keeping it real with my experience here. Alright, let's get this box open. First impression? The Air Jordan 11 'Cool Grey' just looks "clean". That matte grey upper with the shiny patent leather... it's a timeless combo. The build quality here feels solid, right out of the box. For $225, you expect that premium feel, and so far, it delivers. It's one of those Jordan series classics that never gets old. Slipping these on... the fit is "classic" 11\. You get that nice, secure wrap around the midfoot, and the patent leather cage does its job. They're not the lightest shoes ever, but you definitely feel that quality. The full-length Air unit? Still provides a great, cushioned step. It's a comfortable, "elevated" basketball sneaker feel. Alright, so let's get into the Air Jordan 11 'Cool Grey'. First off—the box! It's that classic AJ11 box, right? Opening it up... the cool grey hits you. That monochromatic look is so clean, and the shiny patent leather, it just "pops". For $225, it feels premium. My first impression? An absolute classic, back again.
