But you're paying for that iconic design and versatility. The "air jordan 11 cool grey" will literally never go out of style. In my experience, that makes it worth it over a trendier shoe that you'll only wear for one season. Let's talk about the "design". The mix of materials is what makes the "Jordan 11" special. The cool grey durabuck is soft, contrasting perfectly with the shiny patent leather. At $225, you’re paying for that premium construction. I love the icy blue outsole, though it will yellow over time—that's inevitable. For a collector or someone who wants a timeless piece, this is it. For someone wanting a beater sneaker, maybe look elsewhere. Alright, first impressions out of the box... the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey just "hits" different. That patent leather against the cool grey nubuck is so clean! For $225, the quality here is solid, no major flaws. Holding it, you remember why this silhouette is a legend in the Jordan series. It’s a classic, through and through. Now, the potential cons, because no shoe is perfect. That patent leather can crease—it's just a fact of life with this model. Also, if you have a wider foot, the fit can feel a bit restrictive in the midfoot. The "Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey" isn't the most "breathable" shoe either, so maybe not your first pick for super hot summer days.
