Air jordan 11 cool grey : Let's talk about the look in hand versus on foot [ttyunhtg]

In photos, the "cool grey" can look a bit flat, but in person? The materials pop! The patent leather has a great shine, and the mesh contrasts perfectly. On camera, this colorway is versatile and always looks crisp. It's one of those Jordans that just "works" from every angle. On foot now — the fit is true to size for me. The patent leather / mesh upper combo gives a "surprisingly" supportive wrap around the midfoot. They're not the lightest shoe in the world (I mean, it's an "air jordan 11"), but the weight feels solid, not clunky. Comfort is good right out of the box. Walking around in these, you get looks. The Air Jordan 11 silhouette is just recognisable. The cool grey color makes it a bit more subtle than some other Jordan series releases, which I prefer. At $225, it's an investment. My advice? If you've never owned an 11, this is a fantastic first one. The materials are great, and it's a true piece of sneaker history you can actually wear. Who should "avoid" it? If you're on a tight budget, or if you need a super-technical, performance-focused shoe for basketball or long walks, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer ultra-breathable, lightweight sneakers, the mostly-leather build of the AJ11 Cool Grey might feel a bit heavy and warm to you. Know what you're buying into.
