.. that white and "Varsity Red" combo is just "clean". The patent leather shines so nicely, even straight out of the box. For the $225 price tag, the initial quality and that classic AJ11 silhouette look absolutely on point. I'm excited to get these on feet. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'! First off, the box is "classic" – but opening it up? That white / varsity red combo just "pops". The patent leather shine is immediately noticeable, it's super clean. For $225, you expect premium quality, and the materials here feel on point right out of the gate. This is a "strong" first impression for the Jordan 11 silhouette. Potential downside time: the "Air Jordan 11 'Cherry'" patent leather can crease. It’s just a fact of life with this material! Also, that carbon fiber shank plate? It’s sturdy, but some folks might find the break-in period a little stiff. Don't expect a "barely-there" feel. You're wearing a piece of sneaker history, and it has a certain "weight" and presence to it. That’s part of the charm, honestly. On feet, the ‘Cherry’ colorway is "fire". The white midsole contrasts so sharply with that deep red patent leather – it looks amazing in natural light. However – and this is real talk – that white mesh upper? It's a "magnet" for dirt. If you're planning to wear these often, get ready for some frequent cleaning sessions.
