It’s not perfect - no shoe is - but it’s a strong, confident release that I think a lot of people are going to enjoy rocking this year. Is it worth the $225 USD price tag? For an AJ11—yes. You're paying for the legacy, the premium materials, and a colorway that isn't a simple rehash. The "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'" feels like an event shoe. If you missed out on older holiday 11s, this is a fantastic alternative. Just know it's a lifestyle shoe first; don't expect modern basketball tech. On feet, the comfort is... classic Jordan 11. You feel the Air unit in the heel, and the phylon midsole does its job. It's not Boost or ZoomX, but for all-day wear? I find it seriously comfy for a '90s design. Walking around, the weight is noticeable—it's not a featherweight runner—but it feels substantial and premium, which I kinda like for a shoe at this $225 price point. Who should "skip" these? If you need a versatile, go-with-everything sneaker, this probably isn't it. The red is dominant. Also, if you're new to sneakers and want the most comfortable option—there are better tech choices. This is about style and heritage, not cutting-edge performance.
