The colorway is executed perfectly. But for someone new to Jordans, or on a tight budget, maybe start with a more versatile, GR colorway. This one feels special, almost like a holiday release, which makes it a standout piece in any rotation—if you can get it. Hey what's up, everyone. Just got the "Air Jordan 11 Cherry" in hand – and wow, that first look is something else. The white and "Cherry" red combo is so clean and classic right out of the box. The patent leather cut? Super glossy and premium. For $225 USD, this Jordan release feels absolutely worth it on initial inspection. The shape is just iconic – a true holiday-season vibe. Comparing it to my other 11s? The air jordan 11 cherry sits right there. It has the same timeless shape and build. Versus something like a 'Cool Grey,' it's more playful. Against a 'Concord,' it's less contrasting but equally bold in its own way. It's a fantastic addition to the lineup if you don't have a red-based 11 yet. That's my honest take. Comparing it to other 11s – the 'cherry' holds its own. It lacks the iconic "23" on the heel like some OG colorways, but the all-red Jumpman? It works. The red outsole ties it all together beautifully. It feels more special than a standard "Cool Grey," in my opinion. The quality feels consistent with recent Jordan 11 retro releases. So, no surprises there – just a really, really well-done version of a classic.
