A definite pro is its versatility with darker jeans or shorts. A potential con? That bright patent leather might be "too" loud for some minimalist wardrobes. 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. Conversely, who might want to pass? If you're on a tight budget – $225 is a significant chunk. Also, if you're seeking groundbreaking, modern basketball tech, this isn't it. The Air Jordan 11 'Cherry' is about celebrating a legend, not reinventing the wheel. It's for style and heritage lovers first. Comparing it to other "Jordan 11s"? The 'Cherry' sits right up there with classics like the Concord or Bred. It's "just" as versatile. Versus a more modern "Jordan" model? The 11's tech is dated—so don't expect Zoom Air bounce. But for style & heritage, it's a top-tier pick, no doubt.
