.. futuristic. Versus my AJ1s, the 11 offers way more tech & cushioning. Next to an AJ4? The 11 has a sleeker, dressier vibe. Honestly, this "Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey" might be the perfect "grown-up" Jordan for a refined sneaker rotation. Comparing it to the original 2010 release - this 2021 version of the "air jordan 11 cool grey" feels great. The materials are on point. The cool grey color is just perfect; not too dark, not too light. If you're looking for a shoe that balances style and a bit of court heritage, this is a fantastic option. It's a very safe, but amazing, choice. Slipping these on? The fit is true-to-size for me. The Air Jordan 11 'Cool Grey' has that nice, snug / supportive feel, especially around the collar. It's not a super plush, modern sneaker, but you get great court-feel. The carbon fiber shank plate provides that essential stability. The weight is reasonable, not too heavy on foot during a casual day. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ11 is more structured and formal than a cushioned AJ1. Versus the AJ4 or AJ5, it feels sleeker and lower-profile. The "cool grey" specifically is less flashy than the Breds or Space Jams. It's a mature, sophisticated take on the model. If you only own one 11, this is a top-tier contender for that spot, honestly.
