If you're used to ultra-light, low-top runners? The Air Jordan 11 'Cherry' will feel substantial, maybe even a bit bulky. It's part of the design DNA, but worth noting if you prioritize a barely-there feel on foot. So, is the Air Jordan 11 Cherry worth it? For me – "absolutely". If you missed out on older red-based 11s, this is a fantastic alternative. It feels premium, looks incredible on foot, and delivers that iconic Jordan 11 experience. It’s a shoe that "feels" special when you wear it, which is what we're all after, right? Comparing it to my other 11s, the "Cherry" holds its own. The quality is consistent with recent retros. It doesn't have the "cool factor" of an OG colorway, but it brings its own fun energy. It’s a celebratory shoe. If you’re on the fence, seeing them in person might just sell you. Comparing it to other "Jordan 11" models – like the Cool Greys or the Concords – this "Cherry" version is definitely more vibrant & playful. It has that classic, dress-shoe-elegant silhouette, but the bold red gives it a totally different personality. It's a fun twist on a legend.
