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. 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". Let's talk looks on foot. The Air Jordan 11 Cherry colorway is honestly a showstopper. In natural light, that red is deep and rich, and the glossy patent leather catches the light with every step. It draws eyes. Compared to a more subdued 11 like the 'Cool Grey', this is for when you "want" to be seen. It's a head-turner, plain and simple. From a style perspective, the Air Jordan 11 Cherry is surprisingly easy to wear. White kicks go with everything, and the red adds the perfect splash. Performance-wise? I wouldn't ball in 'em today – they're a lifestyle king. The value is in the look & legacy. If you've never owned an 11, this is a bold & fun entry point into the model.
