The Best Sneakers Releasing This Week
Air Jordan 11 Low Cement Grey
A classic silhouette, the Air Jordan 11 is held in high regard as one of the most beloved, coveted Air Jordan numbers. Although the AJ low-cut silhouette might not be a natural gravitation for some sneakerheads, the Cement Grey patent leather makeup is makes this a familiar look to the popular Cool Grey colorway.

Located on the insole, you’ll find the quote “luck/success happens when preparation meets opportunity” from Roman philosopher Seneca.
