.. clean. The patent leather - or "plastics," as some call it - has a really nice sheen. For $225, the materials feel premium, and the shape is classic. Honestly, it's a stunning start for any Jordan collection. On feet now—wow. The fit is "true" to size for me. The patent leather cage provides that signature, secure AJ11 lockdown. Cushioning? As expected: plush! The full-length Air unit gives a great, comfortable ride. It's not the lightest shoe, but you don't buy an Air Jordan 11 for a "barely-there" feel. It's about that substantial, quality build. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "11" silhouette is always a winner. This 'Cherry' version feels more special-occasion than, say, a standard Bred 11. Versus a Jordan 1, it's a completely different fit & feel—more structured, less flexible. For $225, you're paying for that legacy and this bold color story. Let's talk look. Under camera lights, this "Air Jordan 11 cherry" patent leather has a "deep", almost candy-like shine. It's "not" a subtle shoe, and I love that. Paired with some simple jeans or shorts, it becomes the focal point. Compared to my Concords, this feels more like a "fun", celebratory shoe, you know?
