Hardcore ballers looking for modern performance tech should probably look elsewhere (this is a 90s design, after all). And if you absolutely hate seeing creases on your patent leather... maybe admire these from afar. On foot, the "Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey" has a certain "presence". It's not overly flashy, but people who know, "know". The way the patent leather catches the light is just "chef's kiss". In terms of comfort, it's good, but it's a "retro basketball shoe"—don't expect modern running shoe tech. If you have wider feet, you might find the toebox a bit snug. My verdict? A solid 9/10 for style and heritage. The major "advantage" here is pure versatility. The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey colorway goes with "literally" everything – jeans, joggers, shorts. It’s a neutral grail. However, the patent leather "can" crease, and that's a deal-breaker for some collectors. For me, sneakers are meant to be worn, but it's something to know before you drop over two hundred bucks. 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.
