At $225, it sits at the expected price point for a retro+. You're buying into the Jordan series heritage with a color that stands out. Try them on if you can! See if that cherry red speaks to you. For my personal style and collection? Yeah, it's a definite win and a frequent wear this season. Who should maybe pass? If you're super hard on your kicks, that white upper will stress you out. Also, if you're seeking the absolute latest in sneaker tech or a minimal, low-profile look, this isn't it. The $225 price tag is also steep if you're just dipping your toes into the "Jordan series". Now, a potential con for some people: that glossy patent leather mudguard. It's "stunning", but it's also a fingerprint magnet and can crease. If you're super rough on your kicks or prefer low-maintenance materials, this might give you pause. Also, while the cushioning is good, if you're coming from modern, ultra-plush performance shoes, the Air Jordan 11 Cherry's ride might feel a bit firmer and more "retro." Alright, let's get into these — "the" Air Jordan 11 Cherry. First impression out of the box? Clean. The all-white upper with that patent leather mudguard is just a classic AJ11 silhouette. The "Cherry" red hits on the Jumpman and the icy outsole "pop" perfectly. For $225 USD, the initial quality — from the materials to the stitching — feels premium and true to the Jordan series heritage. A very, very solid start.
