.. the fit is true to size for me. The initial feel is a bit stiff, as expected with any new Jordan 11. The patent leather needs a few wears to break in, but the overall lockdown is secure. Compared to, say, a more padded Jordan 1, the feel is more structured and supportive around the ankle. It's a distinct, iconic feel. Walking around in them, the weight is noticeable but not heavy. It feels substantial, like a quality product. The ankle collar provides good support without being restrictive. The potential issue for some? That higher cut might not be for everyone, especially if you're used to low-top sneakers. But for basketball-inspired style, it's spot on. 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. On feet, this 'Cool Grey' colorway is incredibly versatile. It’s not as loud as the 'Bred' or 'Concord', which is actually its biggest strength. It goes with almost anything – jeans, shorts, joggers. In natural light, the different shades of grey really pop. The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey is a wear-everywhere kind of sneaker, no doubt.
