First look at the Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'... wow. That white patent leather "really" pops against the Varsity Red. The build quality on this Jordan model is, as always, pretty solid out of the box. It's that classic, sleek 11 silhouette we all love, but this colorway? It's a statement piece for sure. A clean, bold statement. Now, a real point for some folks: the "Air Jordan 11" platform isn't for everyone. That firmer ride I mentioned? If you have wide feet, the patent leather can feel restrictive after hours. Also, that beautiful icy outsole "will" yellow over time — it's a fact of life with this model. At $225, you're paying for the heritage and the look, not necessarily cutting-edge performance tech. Now, a potential con... the patent leather. On this "Air Jordan 11 Cherry", it's a fingerprint magnet, and over time, it will crease—there's no avoiding that. Some people dislike that feel, so just be aware. Also, that icy outsole will yellow... it's inevitable. So, if you're a perfectionist about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bother you. Major pro for this Air Jordan 11 Cherry: its "versatility". You can dress these up or down "easily". The color-blocking is simple yet powerful, making it a shoe that complements a lot of fits. For a $225 retail price, you're getting a classic that you can actually wear throughout the year, not just keep on ice.
