That glossy patent leather mudguard, in that vibrant cherry red—it just pops! For $225, the quality here—especially on a classic Jordan silhouette like the 11—feels on point. Seriously, a great first impression right out of the box. Now, a potential con for some: that high-gloss patent leather. It "can" crease over time, and some folks prefer a nubuck or suede look. Also, at $225, it's a significant investment. If you're looking for a pure performance basketball shoe in 2024, there are more modern—and lighter—options than this retro. Unboxing the Air Jordan 11 'Cherry' was a vibe. That classic high-gloss box, the tissue paper… it's an "experience". The shoe itself? Stunning. The patent leather is super crisp. On foot, they feel great – supportive & cushioned. Just know, this silhouette can feel a bit bulky for some folks' taste. It's a statement piece, for sure. On foot, the weight is noticeable—it's a "solid" shoe. The carbon fiber plate does its job for support, no doubt. The comfort is good, but don't expect Boost or ZoomX levels. It's that iconic "Jordan 11" feel: supportive, with a bit of that Air-Sole cushion. Perfect for all-day wear if you're just hanging out.
