The Air Jordan 11 Cherry has that structured, almost supportive feel around the ankle and midfoot. It's not the most plush modern sneaker, but it's secure. The patent leather upper doesn't have much give, so getting your foot in is the only tricky part. After that, you're locked in. Now, a potential con for some: that high-gloss patent leather. 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. On-camera or just walking around, this 'Cherry' colorway is a total head-turner. The contrast is so sharp. Compared to my other 11s, like the 'Cool Grey', this one feels more vibrant & playful. The glossy finish catches light beautifully. Major pro? Timeless AJ11 silhouette + a fun, standout color. A definite win for collectors who like color. 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.
