Look, we’re not going to just come out and say that this shoe is better than the legendary Cool Grey Air Jordan XI. That’s partially because it’s not true, and also because even if it was, most sneakerheads would disagree. One thing we can agree on is that this newest Air Jordan 16.5 is among the best we’ve seen from the Wizards-era hybrid.
They rely on a mix of patent leather, nubuck and ballistic nylon for a tonal effect, along with some white splashes for balance. The metallic silver heel wrap looks awesome against the cool design, and you should be able to find them now at most Brand Jordan retailers.
