It's a signature of the "Jordan 11", but it "will" crease. It's just the nature of the material. Some people hate that, and if you're a "keep-'em-perfect" collector, that's a "con". For me, it adds character. But be warned—this isn't a matte finish that hides wear. The 'Cherry' red accent will show every scuff on the outsole, too. The on-foot comfort is decent – not amazing, not bad. The full-length Air-Sole unit provides good impact protection, but again, it's firm. Breaking them in helps a bit. The real star is the look. Wearing the "air jordan 11 cherry" just feels... cool. It has that "event shoe" vibe. You feel put together. For $225, you're buying that feeling & the iconic design as much as the physical shoe itself. Alright, let's get into these "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'". First off, the box is classic! Opening it up? That color combo really pops. The white patent leather upper with that vibrant cherry red accent is just… clean. Honestly, for a $225 Jordan 11 release? This is a solid, classic look right out the gate. The craftsmanship on my pair looks really good—no major glue issues or anything. A great start! 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.
