The 2021 version of the Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Cool Grey' pays homage to the original colorway released in 2001, later retroed in 2010. Commemorating the 20th anniversary of its debut, the mid-top silhouette faithfully replicates the original design. It features a nubuck upper with tonal webbing lace loops and a glossy patent leather overlay in shades of Medium and Cool Grey. The lateral ankle is adorned with a white embroidered Jumpman logo, and the heel notch showcases a stylized '23' graphic. Offering lightweight cushioning, the shoe incorporates a full-length Air-sole unit housed in a white Phylon midsole. The translucent outsole exposes a carbon fiber spring plate for increased on-court responsiveness.
