If you're rough with your kicks, these will show wear "fast". Also, at $225 USD, it's a significant investment. The fit can be stiff initially – not for people who want a slip-on, super-flexible feel. You gotta commit to breaking these in. Comfort is a big one. The Jordan 11 isn't a ultra-boost, but it's solid. The carbon fiber plate provides good stability, and the cushioning is supportive for long periods. The 'Cherry' upper is no different — it's structured. If you prefer a super flexible, sock-like feel, this might not be your go-to. But for style and decent comfort, it delivers. Sizing tip: I went true to size, and they fit perfectly. The interior is padded nicely, offering a snug—not tight—wrap. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the 11 is generally more accommodating. If you have wider feet, you "might" be okay staying true, but trying them on is always the best advice. For $225, you want that fit to be spot-on. Is it worth the $225 USD price tag? For an AJ11—yes. You're paying for the legacy, the premium materials, and a colorway that isn't a simple rehash. The "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'" feels like an event shoe. If you missed out on older holiday 11s, this is a fantastic alternative. Just know it's a lifestyle shoe first; don't expect modern basketball tech.
