The cushioning – man, it's fantastic. That full-length Air unit never gets old. They’re not the lightest shoes, but you expect that with the 11s. On feet, that patent leather shine is even more noticeable in person than in pics. Now, a potential downside for some: the weight. The Air Jordan 11 Cherry isn't a heavy shoe, but it's not ultra-light either. If you're coming from a modern performance basketball shoe, you'll notice it. This isn't really for cutting on the court anymore - it's a lifestyle icon. So, just keep that in mind if you're super sensitive to shoe weight. Alright, let's get these out of the box. First impression of the "air jordan 11 cherry"? The red is "so" vibrant in hand – it's not just any red, it's that classic "Cherry" pop. The patent leather cut looks clean, and honestly, the construction feels solid for a retro. At $225 USD, you expect that quality from the "Jordan" series. It's a timeless silhouette that just works. Who are these for? Honestly, if you love the AJ11 model & want a non-retro, lively colorway, these are fantastic. The 'Cherry' accent is just "chef's kiss". Not for you if you prefer all-earth tones or hate maintaining icy soles. For $225, you're paying for the icon status & that unbeatable on-foot comfort. I'm keeping 'em!
