It's just a fact of life with this model. Also, if you're used to modern, ultra-light performance sneakers, the "Air Jordan 11" might feel a bit bulky. It's a "style-first" shoe, not a tech-forward runner. Keep that in mind. Comparing it to other 11s? The Air Jordan 11 Cherry sits in a nice spot. It's more vibrant than the 'Cool Grey' but less contrast-heavy than the 'Bred'. It's its own thing - a summer-ready, clean white shoe with personality. For $225, it's priced like every other Retro 11, so you're paying for the legacy and the look, which I think is fair. Sliding these on? The fit is "true to size" for me – nice & snug. The "air jordan 11 cherry" isn't a "plush" shoe, let's be real. The cushioning is more about court feel & stability, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. It's not heavy, but you feel that quality construction, you know? The patent leather wraps your foot securely. If you're after a super-soft, bouncy ride... maybe look elsewhere. But for that classic, supportive AJ11 feel? Spot on. Comparing it to other 11s? This "Cherry" sits beautifully between the bold "Bred" and the clean "Cool Grey." It's loud enough to stand out but not "too" loud. For $225, it holds its own. If you missed out on the "Cool Grey" 11s, this might be your perfect substitute, honestly.
