It’s not perfect - no shoe is - but it’s a strong, confident release that I think a lot of people are going to enjoy rocking this year. Sliding my foot into this Air Jordan 11 Cherry... wow, the fit is "snug" – in a good way! That iconic inner sleeve hugs your foot securely. The cushioning feels great, a perfect blend of responsive and plush that the 11s are known for. It's not the "lightest" shoe, but you feel that solid, quality construction with every step. Comparing it to other 11s? The 'Cherry' sits right there with the 'Cool Greys' for me— a clean, non-OG but instantly classic look. Versus a Bred 11? It's less aggressive, more vibrant. Versus other "Jordan" models? The 11's profile is still unrivaled for elegance. The patent leather shine is just "chef's kiss". A huge pro is its versatility with jeans or shorts. A con? That same patent leather can crease, so be mindful. Who should maybe skip it? If you need a pure, performance basketball shoe in 2024 – look elsewhere. If you dislike the stiff, structured feel of patent leather, this isn't for you. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $225 is steep for a lifestyle shoe. And if you prefer ultra-low-key kicks, the 'Cherry' is "definitely" not low-key.
