The potential downside? That beautiful patent leather – it "will" crease. It's just the nature of the material. If you're someone who wants to keep your kicks looking pristine forever, this might stress you out. Also, at $225, it’s a premium investment. You’re paying for the legacy and the look, not for groundbreaking, modern tech. Is it worth the price? At $225, it's a premium ask. You're buying into the legacy of the Jordan 11 model — the silhouette, the history. The 'Cherry' colorway execution is top-notch. If you love 11s and want a fresh, non-retro color, yes. If you're on the fence about the red, maybe wait for a color you truly love. It's an investment in style. Now, a real con? That patent leather is a fingerprint and scuff magnet. If you're rough with your kicks, these will show wear "fast". Also, at $225 USD, it's a significant investment. The fit can be stiff initially – not for people who want a slip-on, super-flexible feel. You gotta commit to breaking these in. On foot, the design really shines. The white mesh upper contrasts so cleanly against the red patent leather... and that icy blue outsole? It completes the look. Honestly, these look fantastic in motion and photograph incredibly well—definitely a head-turner. It’s a Jordan 11, so you know the silhouette itself is just timeless.
