It's a future classic in the making. But if you prioritize cutting-edge tech or are hesitant about patent leather care, maybe look elsewhere. For me, though? They're a definite win — a beautiful, well-made shoe that lives up to the Jordan 11 name. Alright, let's get into these "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'". First off, the box is classic! Opening it up? That color combo really pops. The white patent leather upper with that vibrant cherry red accent is just… clean. Honestly, for a $225 Jordan 11 release? This is a solid, classic look right out the gate. The craftsmanship on my pair looks really good—no major glue issues or anything. A great start! 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. Comparing this to other 11s? The 'Cherry' sits in a unique spot. It's not as universally iconic as the 'Concord', but it's way more vibrant than the 'Cool Grey'. This specific red makes a stronger style statement. A definite pro is its versatility with darker jeans or shorts. A potential con? That bright patent leather might be "too" loud for some minimalist wardrobes.
