It’s just a fact of life with this material! Also, that carbon fiber shank plate? It’s sturdy, but some folks might find the break-in period a little stiff. Don't expect a "barely-there" feel. You're wearing a piece of sneaker history, and it has a certain "weight" and presence to it. That’s part of the charm, honestly. Now, a potential "con": that stiff patent leather. Some folks find it creases in an awkward way or needs a real break-in period. If you prefer a super-plush, flexible upper? This might not be your jam. Also, the outsole is a smudge magnet. Just keeping it 100% real with you all. Yo, what's up, everyone... just got the "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'" in hand. My first impression? That white and "vivid red" combo is absolutely striking in person—it just pops. The quality feels solid, typical of the Jordan 11 series, with that iconic, sleek patent leather mudguard. Honestly, for $225, it's a statement piece right out of the box. Unboxing the Air Jordan 11 'Cherry' was a vibe. That classic high-gloss box, the tissue paper… it's an "experience". The shoe itself? Stunning. The patent leather is super crisp. On foot, they feel great – supportive & cushioned. Just know, this silhouette can feel a bit bulky for some folks' taste. It's a statement piece, for sure.
