It "can" crease over time, and some folks prefer a nubuck or suede look. Also, at $225, it's a significant investment. If you're looking for a pure performance basketball shoe in 2024, there are more modern—and lighter—options than this retro. 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. My real, no-BS advice? If you love the Jordan 11 silhouette and don't have a white-based pair, the "air jordan 11 cherry" is an easy yes. The quality is there. But if you're on the fence about the red accents, maybe wait for a colorway you'll absolutely love. Don't just buy the hype. Let's talk pros and cons. Major "advantage": timeless Jordan 11 shape that always looks good. The materials feel premium for the $225 price tag. A potential "con"? That bright cherry red might be "too" much for someone who prefers subtle, neutral kicks. Also, the patent leather can crease— that's just a fact of life with 11s. If you're okay with a loud color and some wear marks, you'll love 'em.
