Wow. Retro Jordan XIs have become a Christmas tradition like vicious hangovers, Jimmy Stewart merrily sprinting through Bedford Falls or Bill Murray being stalked by a shotgun-wielding Bobcat Goldthwait. Even though the Cool Grey Jordan XI only dates back to 2001 as a Retro+ colourway, it's one of the rare occasions where the newer makeup matches the originals. We've long been of the opinion that makeups from a time when footwear designers had a heavy say in colourways, before folk were hired specifically to apply shades were the best shoes, yet the Cool Grey is genuinely one of the best shoes ever. One colour on the upper and nubuck over nylon worked very well indeed.
This might be the best all-rounder of the XI collection and while there's been a few monotone rarities as part of charity and promo pieces, this model seems to be being kept special at a time when your favourite shoes are destined to hit saleracks on their return. We like that. But boy does it lead to pandemonium when they're brought back. Space Jams were a roadblock on the 23rd of December last year, with some spectacular levels of dedication on display in pursuit of a pair and thus far, these have poured out the store even faster than those intergalactic fan favourites.
As ever, the packaging is immaculate, with a grey version of last year's immaculate black and blue housing and there's been the usual modification too—that outsole's changed colour. Normally alterations are something to bemoan, but we think that icy light blue is an improvement on the transparent original—it works perfectly with the grey and shouldn't turn urine yellow if they're left unattended for a year or so. As mentioned, these are shooting out the store faster than any shoe we've ever had in stock. Act fast if you're interested, but these are the best entry into the world of patent leather Hatfield creations.
