If you "hate" seeing creases on your sneakers, the patent leather will bother you. Also, if you prefer super chunky or ultra-boost-like comfort, the AJ11's more firm, responsive ride might not be your thing. Who is this NOT for? If you prioritize extreme, cloud-like comfort above all else— maybe look at a react- or boost-equipped shoe. Also, if you're rough on your sneakers, the light colors and materials on this Cool Grey might stress you out. It’s a "careful" shoe, not a true beater. Let's talk about wearing these. The "air jordan 11 cool grey" looks even better on feet. That patent leather catches the light perfectly for photos & videos. The main pro here is the versatility. This colorway is a true 'wear-with-anything' shoe. My personal take? It's a must-have for any collector who wants a clean, non-flashy iconic shoe. Comparing it to other "Jordans"? The "11" sits in its own lane. It's dressier than a "Jordan 1" and has more of a "constructed" feel than a "Jordan 4", for example. The "Cool Grey" specifically is one of those universal colorways—like the 'Black/White' "11s"—that’s easier to style daily than some of the louder, OG Chicago color-blocking.
