Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Cool Grey | Kixify Marketplace。Story Behind the Shoe The Air Jordan 11 was originally designed by Tinker Hatfield with the goal of creating a sophisticated basketball shoe that Michael Jordan could even wear with a tuxedo. It was the first basketball shoe to feature patent leather and a carbon fiber plate in the sole, a monumental moment in sneaker design.  Original Debut: Michael Jordan debuted the mid-top Air Jordan 11 during the 1995 NBA Playoffs after returning from his first retirement.  \"Cool Grey\" Colorway: The \"Cool Grey\" colorway was not an original colorway from the 1990s. It first released on March 3, 2001, as a lifestyle-oriented, non-original color scheme that quickly gained popularity for its versatile look. The colorway became iconic when Michael Jordan wore it during his time playing for the Washington Wizards.  Low-Top Version: Proper Air Jordan 11 Lows with the classic patent leather support were not released until 2001. The \"Cool Grey\" low-top version, as seen in the image, has been released in subsequent years, including a notable release in 2018.
