Posted: 23 Dec 2010 11:58 AM PST

Footwear Faceoff: "Cool Grey" Air Jordan 11 Battle Royale

The “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11′s release, today, will put a strong exclamation point on the end of this year in kicks. But if you’re a celebrity or pro athlete and above us average folk, you’ve probably had your pair(s) for weeks, or even months. We’ve spotted a number of hoopers and celebs rocking this sought-after shoe in the past weeks and it’s time to decide who rocked it best. Was it up-and-comer Theophilus London, who showed off his Jordan Brand shipment on Twitter, MLB ace CC Sabathia, who rocked it courtside, or one of the numerous NBA and NCAA ballers that put the classic to use on the court? Head to the poll below and let us know.

In Retrospect: Air Jordan 11 "Space Jam"
Last year, Jordan Brand gave us one of the biggest sneaker releases ever in the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11. Lines were long and some crowds got out of hand because to the fiery desire many had for this re-retro. Now, a year later, we can look back on the release that was. Did you get a pair or did you miss out?

Although this Air Jordan 11 ignited the “Cool Grey” craze, is it the best sneaker of its kind?

Our Nice Kicks staff compiled a list of all of the “Cool Grey” kicks that have ever been created from all brands. In this feature, you will see Air Jordans, Reeboks, Under Armours and many other sneakers that feature the “Cool Grey” color scheme in some form or fashion.

Released: 2010

The “Dunkman” and “All-Star” colorways of the Nike Air Max LeBron VIIs are considered the best formations of LeBron’s seventh signature shoe, but this “Cool Grey” version is definitely top five. Although there is no trace of “Cool Grey” patent leather, the film-like material on the toe box intrigued many. Also, the grey tinted Flywire design is a nice quality on this LeBron VII.

Release Reminder: Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey”

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 03:28 PM PST

Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey

The most highly-anticipated sneaker release of the year is closer than its even been! Tomorrow, December 23rd, 2010, Jordan Brand will officially re-release the Cool Grey 11, for $175. The “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11 has not seen the light of day since its original release in 2001. Since then, a number of sneakers have donned this classic color scheme, but none have intrigued the sneaker community quite like this sneaker. Michael Jordan himself has done some impressive things in this sneaker. If you recall, MJ scored 39 points and grabbed eight rebounds against the Knicks in the Madison Square Garden while wearing these. Will this be a definite purchase for you tomorrow?
