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. To wrap up—the "air jordan 11 cherry" gets a big thumbs up from me. It’s a confident release from the Jordan Brand. The color story works, the quality is there, and it fills a specific niche in a collection. For $225 USD, you know what you're getting: an icon, refreshed. Go for it if you've been waiting for a red-based 11. You won't be disappointed. Major pro for this Air Jordan 11 Cherry: its "versatility". You can dress these up or down "easily". The color-blocking is simple yet powerful, making it a shoe that complements a lot of fits. For a $225 retail price, you're getting a classic that you can actually wear throughout the year, not just keep on ice. Here's a real talk point: the patent leather. It's a signature of the "Jordan 11", but it "will" crease. It's just the nature of the material. Some people hate that, and if you're a "keep-'em-perfect" collector, that's a "con". For me, it adds character. But be warned—this isn't a matte finish that hides wear. The 'Cherry' red accent will show every scuff on the outsole, too.
