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. Let's talk look. Under camera lights, this "Air Jordan 11 cherry" patent leather has a "deep", almost candy-like shine. It's "not" a subtle shoe, and I love that. Paired with some simple jeans or shorts, it becomes the focal point. Compared to my Concords, this feels more like a "fun", celebratory shoe, you know? Alright, so the "Air Jordan 11 Cherry" is finally here. First thing out of the box—man, that color is vibrant! The white upper with that cherry-red patent leather really "pops" under the lights. For a $225 shoe, the initial craft seems solid, no obvious glue stains. The iconic Jordan 11 silhouette is, of course, an instant classic. A really strong first impression right off the bat. Is it worth the price? At $225, it's a premium ask. You're buying into the legacy of the Jordan 11 model — the silhouette, the history. The 'Cherry' colorway execution is top-notch. If you love 11s and want a fresh, non-retro color, yes. If you're on the fence about the red, maybe wait for a color you truly love. It's an investment in style.
