The Drop
The Jordan 11 Retro Low Cement Grey (AV2187-140) bridges the iconic Cement colorway from the AJ3/4 era with the dress-shoe silhouette MJ wore to the '96 Finals. White patent leather wraps the mudguard, while grey elephant print hits the heel overlay—a nod to Tinker Hatfield's original blueprint that defined Jordan DNA. It's that seltene Mischung where heritage meets court-to-street elegance.
Resell Verdict
Currently trading around $251, with asks ranging $185–$401 depending on size and condition. The 56 weekly orders signal steady rotation among collectors who prefer Low 11s for summer fits, but this isn't a hype spike model—it's a slow-burn hold. Resell has stayed stable; flippers looking for quick profit should look elsewhere, but long-term holders banking on Cement nostalgia could see modest appreciation as DS pairs thin out.
Fake Tells
- ▸Patent leather cut: Reps often sit too high or low—authentic pairs hit just below the ankle collar with surgical precision
- ▸Elephant print texture: Fakes use flat, lifeless grey; real Cement print has subtle depth and matte finish
- ▸Carbon fiber shank: Check the outsole—genuine plates show visible weave; budget fakes use painted plastic
Who It's For
Weekend warriors who want Finals-era flex without High-top bulk, plus collectors filling Cement-themed lineups. Perfect for rooftop hangs or clean streetwear rotation—nicht for the gym.
Sizing & Fit
Runs true to size, though the patent upper needs 2–3 wears to break in if you've got wider feet.
