.. the patent leather. On this "Air Jordan 11 Cherry", it's a fingerprint magnet, and over time, it will crease—there's no avoiding that. Some people dislike that feel, so just be aware. Also, that icy outsole will yellow... it's inevitable. So, if you're a perfectionist about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bother you. In the end, the "air jordan 11 cherry" delivers exactly what you expect from a great 11: iconic looks, great comfort, and head-turning style. It’s not perfect - no shoe is - but it’s a strong, confident release that I think a lot of people are going to enjoy rocking this year. Now, a real con? That patent leather is a fingerprint and scuff magnet. 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. Who should grab these? If you love bold colorways and the AJ11 silhouette, this is a must. Sneakerheads wanting a vibrant addition to their collection—go for it. They're also great for casual wear; the comfort is there. Honestly, if you missed the original 'Cherry' release years ago, this retro is your chance.
