If you dislike the stiff, structured feel of patent leather, this isn't for you. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $225 is steep for a lifestyle shoe. And if you prefer ultra-low-key kicks, the 'Cherry' is "definitely" not low-key. Final verdict? I'm really impressed with the Air Jordan 11 Cherry. The quality is there, the colorway is beautiful and versatile, and it wears like a dream. Is it a performance beast? No, but that's not the point. It's a piece of sneaker history, executed very well. If you like the style, I think it's absolutely worth picking up. Thumbs up from me Slipping these on? The comfort is immediate. That full-length Zoom Air unit—it’s just so good, giving you that perfect blend of cushion & court feel. The fit is snug, true to size for me. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the "air jordan 11 cherry" is in a different league for all-day comfort. Major plus right there. On foot, the "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'" just looks premium. That shiny patent leather catches the light perfectly for photos & videos! Compared to a more subtle Concord or Cool Grey, this red really makes a statement. It's a versatile colorway, though! You can rock these with jeans, shorts, even some tailored pants. The "Cherry" accent on the Jumpman and outsole is such a nice, cohesive touch. Love it.
