A Review and Comparison of The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey (2001 vs 2010 vs 2021)

[@matthewfoster9430]

I love the 11s at Christmas, they have become synonymous with the holidays in my mind. Love this comparison video, thank you!

‘01 & ‘10 are in remarkable condition! 😳 I wanna make sure all of my sneakers look that way 20 years down the road lol nice vid bro 🙏🏼 love your knowledge 📚 👟

[@danaliblakk91]

I have a few pair of 11s and as seen in the video the 2010s logo is facing the opposite direction. I guess there is a grading system the shoes fall under. The logo is positioned differently and sometimes give it an off look as maybe even fake but i love how each pair is unique in their own way!!

Not sure if you're aware of this but, services to restore clear soles are starting to pop up. And they do it so well, they come out factory fresh. It's gonna be interesting seeing the soles of 2001 release back to their former glory.

Glad to have you back. Been waiting for this one!

Ohhhh you know what they could move the high 85 jordan 1 releases to holiday season. Theres plenty they could retro. Breds, royals, black toes, UNC”s, black and whites. Plenty of options there.

Don't 11s only come out for Christmas cause Santa's elves spend all year making those 2 million pairs? ahhahhahhah

[@JezzyChristakathrilla]

Always appreciate the comparison Vids from you, I think the cap and gown and platinum tint Jordan 11s were a test to see how the model would fare outside the holidays, I think the platinum tint was a bad release but oddly enough the jubilee did better in terms of sales over the cap and gowns that release production numbers aside.

[@mjo23dan]

Yeah I think that was exactly the case too. They tried a double 11 release in 2014 with the Legend Blue and Pantones for holiday season but it's just too damn expensive. Now, I'm sure people will just buy regardless.

[@nathanwood1567]

2021 is by far the best cool grey yet. From the high cut patent leather and the shape of the shoe, to the shoe being 2wice as comfortable as the original or the other retro for that matter. I love this 2021 model. Should have looked like this originally 💯

[@geraldduenas2391]

My 2010 pair just now started to sole separate. Today😫Not bad🐐🐐🐐

[@eddeweese571]

I don’t think it should change. The 11 stood the rest of time And I guess it all started when the concord had a successful holiday turn out but I wouldn’t be disappointed if they changed it just as long it’s fire over all the rest of the releases! Great video btw

[@flyvanguard24]

I agree with the 1s being the new holiday staple. But I’d only want the good quality og-like cut (bigger swoosh, flatter back)

[@themysterypooper9230]

You should do a collection video again updated! Even thougg it be a long process bc of how many you have! 😭🔥

[@mjo23dan]

That was hell haha. I didn’t put away those shoes for a few weeks after and wifey wasn’t too pleased with me.

[@edwardharrell7219]

Good video, just subscribe, 1 question,on the 2010 is the jumpman logo on the back is he backwards

[@mjo23dan]

The left shoe has the Jumpman facing the rear and the right shoe is facing the toe

7s are the worst most mexican looking mikes

[@qnzman578]

As someone that used to camp out for 11s at holiday times I think moving it would make them easier to get for those that want it. I saw the progression from kinda bad in 09 with the Space jams to worse with the cool greys in 10 and bedlem with the concords after that. Problem is ppl that really want them wind up competing with everyone else trying to get them as gifts

[@natewoods6494]

IMO the 2021 Cool Grey is the best. I love the high cut patent leather on this shoe‼️

Yes. They need to change holiday releases. Maybe Jordan 1 OG. Or any OG CW that Jordan has worn during his time with the Bulls.

What about the gray ones in 2007 Jordan 11

[@juliusthompson9306]

Keep 11's at Christmas. Nothing wrong with a tradition

[@CoreyJ23]

I think in maybe 10 years..maybe.. they will cut back in the 1’s and only release them around Christmas and take the place of the 11.

[@retrokid62]

I wish Jordan brand still used clear soles instead of blue

[@ilogart23]

Answer to your question: Yes, they should switch it up after they rerelease the Columbia 11s and DMP 11s. After that switch it up..

[@clintstewart856]

Thank you for the comparison

[@ruckus914]

I think the cool grey 11s would look really dope with a smoked outsole like cool grey 9’s

[@El_Chile_Amarillo]

They need to change it og Jordan 1 high 85 for the holiday drop. Mass release all OG colorways to kill the resale.

It’s a little different. Particularly with the shape of the toe being a bit more slanted on the Cool Grey which allows for a sleeker look and fit.

After they retro the columbias i could see it changing. Then again people may want the pantones, gamma blues, or DMP”s to come back next. After all of those retro they could def switch up the model release for holidays. Dont know which model could generate nearly as much hype though.

Whatever herb ass resellers gon think sell well lol. They dont know nor gaf about history or stories just profit. I'd definitely would love the DMPs. They shoulda did that last year when they finally gave us the DMP6s instead of Jubilees. Jubilee have zero story behind em except the detail touches linkin em to Sample models back in the day.

[@owenyoung9645]

Word. I passed on the jubilees kind of a pointless release IMO. Could see the DMP”s coming back next year

[@shorty1103]

@@owenyoung9645 same thing. Why release somethin as an ode to the DMPs and sample releases instead of just connecting both releases in the same year and giving us the DMP 11s smh. But that's Nike for you. Wouldnt put it past them to release some bullshit next year

[@KiddAlways]

thank you for the detailed comparison. there were some decent 11s but most of them were straight garbage from the 2006-2015 era. i am glad they fixed the 11s to what they were in 1995 and 1996. the 2000 and 2001 mids were ok but that 2006-2015 was a disaster. with how the sneaker world is i am surprised JB hasn't switched to 1s, they only released a biIIion colorways, they probably forgot a coIorway. the 2021 pair's patent leather has the same color that the 2001 did before it oxidized. i don't know what they were thinking with the 2010 pair. funny when the face boxes were around people didn't like them but now it's considered one of the best. the new 2021 pair looks like the best of the 3 except for the price. thanks for the comparison MJO
