Air jordan 11 cherry : Is it worth the price? At $225, it's a premium ask [8j1608mq]

You're buying into the legacy of the Jordan 11 model — the silhouette, the history. The 'Cherry' colorway execution is top-notch. If you love 11s and want a fresh, non-retro color, yes. If you're on the fence about the red, maybe wait for a color you truly love. It's an investment in style. Comparing it to other 11s – the 'cherry' holds its own. It lacks the iconic "23" on the heel like some OG colorways, but the all-red Jumpman? It works. The red outsole ties it all together beautifully. It feels more special than a standard "Cool Grey," in my opinion. The quality feels consistent with recent Jordan 11 retro releases. So, no surprises there – just a really, really well-done version of a classic. Comparing it to my other 11s? The 'Cherry' holds its own. It's more playful than the 'Cool Grey' but more refined than the 'Jubilee'. It's a fantastic "holiday-season" release that stands out. For $225, you're paying for that iconic Tinker Hatfield design and premium materials. Is it worth it? If you love the model, "absolutely". If you're new to Jordans, it's a "statement" piece. The craftsmanship here is impressive. Stitching on the white panels is clean, and the patent leather cuts are sharp. This Jordan 11 feels "substantial" in hand. Some might find the shoe a bit heavy compared to modern knit sneakers — that's the trade-off for that structured, premium feel. But on foot, the weight isn't really noticeable during casual wear.
