The fit is "true" to size for me. The patent leather cage provides that signature, secure AJ11 lockdown. Cushioning? As expected: plush! The full-length Air unit gives a great, comfortable ride. It's not the lightest shoe, but you don't buy an Air Jordan 11 for a "barely-there" feel. It's about that substantial, quality build. Alright, let's get these on feet. Right away, the fit is true-to-size for me, with a "solid" wrap-around feel from that patent leather mudguard. It's supportive, but don't expect modern, plush cushioning. The "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'" has that familiar, slightly firm feel — it's more about court-ready stability than cloud-like comfort. If you're used to newer models, that might be a slight adjustment. Conversely, the "Air Jordan 11 Cherry" might NOT be for you if you prefer ultra-lightweight, performance-focused sneakers. It's also not for someone who wants a subtle, everyday beater—this shoe demands attention. And if creasing on patent leather gives you anxiety... maybe look at a suede or nubuck model instead. The major "pro" of this shoe is its versatility & statement-making color. The white/red combo works with so many fits. Also, the build quality (typically) on 11s is solid. The "Air Jordan 11 Cherry" retails for $225—a premium price, but you're getting an iconic silhouette in a fantastic new colorway.
