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. Comparing it to my other 11s? The 'Cherry' holds its own. It's more playful than the 'Cool Grey' but more refined than the 'Jubilee'. It's a fantastic "holiday-season" release that stands out. For $225, you're paying for that iconic Tinker Hatfield design and premium materials. Is it worth it? If you love the model, "absolutely". If you're new to Jordans, it's a "statement" piece. Alright, let's get into this! Just unboxed the "Air Jordan 11 Cherry" and wow, that color-blocking is "serious". The white ballistic mesh upper against that vibrant cherry red patent leather? It’s a classic "Jordan 11" silhouette, but this pop of color is instantly eye-catching. For $225, the initial impression on materials and that iconic shape is strong. It just "feels" premium right out of the box, you know? Let's talk design in detail. The white tumbled leather panels are soft, contrasting perfectly with the "shiny" patent leather mudguard. And that "Cherry" red outsole? It "pops" in sunlight. This colorway is arguably one of the best non-OG looks for the AJ11. It's bold without being loud. If you love the Jordan 11's iconic shape, this execution is "near" perfect.
