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? Sliding my foot into this "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'"... the fit is "snug", true to size. The padding around the ankle is plush—it feels secure. It's not the lightest shoe, you definitely feel the structure, but that's part of the Jordan 11 DNA. The full-length Air-Sole unit gives a nice, familiar cushion that's comfortable for all-day wear, not just ball. 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. Who should grab these? Honestly, any Jordan 11 fan, or someone looking for a premium, head-turning sneaker that isn't just another black/white/grey pair. The ‘Cherry’ colorway has personality. Also, collectors – this is a clean, official colorway that adds serious value to any rotation focused on the Jordan series.
