The white mesh and patent leather reflect light beautifully. I think the "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'" might be one of the most versatile 11s for actual wear – it goes with jeans, shorts, you name it. Compared to my Concords, it's less stark and maybe a bit more playful? Just a fantastic, wearable design. Comparing it to other 11s? The "air jordan 11 cherry" sits right there with the best. It has that same iconic shape and build quality as the "Concords" or "Breds," but the red-and-white theme gives it a totally different, almost classic "holiday" vibe. It's a vibrant alternative in the Jordan series that really stands out in a collection. Who should maybe pass? If you're super hard on your kicks, that white upper will stress you out. Also, if you're seeking the absolute latest in sneaker tech or a minimal, low-profile look, this isn't it. The $225 price tag is also steep if you're just dipping your toes into the "Jordan series". Comparing it to other Jordans? The "air jordan 11 cherry" sits in a unique spot. It's more formal-looking than a Jordan 1, more “event-ready” than a 3 or 4. The patent leather gives it that dress-shoe vibe. If you love the 11 silhouette, this is a fantastic addition. It feels special, maybe even more so than some of the recent retro+ colorways.
