It's a signature of the "Jordan 11", but it "will" crease. It's just the nature of the material. Some people hate that, and if you're a "keep-'em-perfect" collector, that's a "con". For me, it adds character. But be warned—this isn't a matte finish that hides wear. The 'Cherry' red accent will show every scuff on the outsole, too. 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. From a style perspective, the Air Jordan 11 Cherry is surprisingly easy to wear. White kicks go with everything, and the red adds the perfect splash. Performance-wise? I wouldn't ball in 'em today – they're a lifestyle king. The value is in the look & legacy. If you've never owned an 11, this is a bold & fun entry point into the model. Let's talk look. Under camera lights, this "Air Jordan 11 cherry" patent leather has a "deep", almost candy-like shine. It's "not" a subtle shoe, and I love that. Paired with some simple jeans or shorts, it becomes the focal point. Compared to my Concords, this feels more like a "fun", celebratory shoe, you know?
