The 2010 reissue of the Air Jordan 11 Retro "Cool Grey" revives a fan-favorite colorway initially released in 2001. Like the original, a monochromatic neutral grey finish suffuses the upper, constructed from nubuck with a glossy patent leather overlay. A full-length Air unit enhances the cushioning properties of a lightweight Phylon midsole. Underfoot, a carbon fiber shank plate is visible through the translucent rubber outsole, equipped with herringbone traction pods under the forefoot and heel.
