FAQs

What year did the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey last release?

The Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey was re-released in December 2021.

What materials are used in the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey?

The shoe features a Cool Grey Durabuck upper, patent leather overlays, a white midsole, and an icy blue translucent outsole.

Is the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey comfortable for everyday wear?

Yes, the full-length Air-Sole unit provides good cushioning, making it comfortable for casual, everyday use.

How should I clean the translucent outsole?

Clean the translucent outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously, but avoid abrasive cleaners.

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While inspired by performance heritage, the 2021 retro is primarily considered a lifestyle sneaker. For serious on-court play, dedicated basketball shoes are recommended.

What does 'Durabuck' mean?

Durabuck is a synthetic material designed to resemble nubuck leather, offering durability and a similar aesthetic.

Can the translucent outsole turn yellow?

Yes, translucent rubber can naturally yellow over time due to oxidation and light exposure. Regular cleaning can help mitigate this.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing of the translucent outsole

This is a natural process for translucent rubber over time, especially when exposed to light. While it cannot be fully reversed, cleaning regularly may slow the process. Some find specialized 'de-yellowing' treatments can help, but use with caution.

Creasing on patent leather

Minor creasing can occur naturally with wear. Avoid flexing the shoe excessively when not wearing it. Store with shoe trees to help maintain shape and reduce severe creasing.

Durabuck appearing matted or dirty

Use a suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently restore the nap of the Durabuck material. For stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Laces fraying or becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent. If severely frayed, replacement laces are readily available from sneaker accessory retailers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey requires no setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for adult males and are generally compatible with most casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and joggers. They are intended for lifestyle wear, not high-performance athletic activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the Durabuck upper with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede or nubuck cleaner. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Patent Leather: Clean patent leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather cleaner if necessary, and condition periodically to maintain shine and prevent cracking.
  3. Midsole & Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the midsole and the translucent outsole. For stubborn marks on the outsole, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe box or a dust bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
