The Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey” Is Officially Unveiled
First seen in 2001, the monochromatic take on one of the most popular Jordans delivers a remastered version of the model’s non-original colorway. A neutral grey nubuck makes up most of the upper, with glossy patent leather entering the mix by way of the iconic curved mudguard. Close inspection of the pair reveals a difference in height and shape in comparison to 2010’s “Cool Grey” 11s, though 2021’s iteration is a closer replica of Tinker Hatfield’s 26-year-old design. Laces and branding on the tongue, lateral heel and spine deviate from the greyscale arrangement in favor of stark “White” contrast. Yet, the semi-translucent icy blue outsole arguably steals the spotlight, addressing the yellowing that plagued the sneakers last time they released. via SneakerNews.com

Collaborator of the year? A Ma Maniére is certainly making a strong case for that cause due to their impressive and consciously concepted projects with Nike, Jordan, and adidas in 2021. Acting as a sturdy bookend to their eventful 2021 is their Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG, officially revealed on their social channels and confirmed for a release on November 24th, 2021.
