The contrast is incredible. In natural light, the white mesh upper and that vibrant red patent leather really stand out. They photograph "so" well. This is one of those sneakers that looks just as good on-camera as it does in your hand — maybe even better when you're moving around. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, modern cushioning above all else, look elsewhere. This isn't a performance-first shoe. Also, if you're on a tight budget, $225 is a significant investment. And if you prefer subtle, low-key kicks... well, the 'Cherry' is anything but subtle. It's a bold piece, and you gotta own that look. Putting these Air Jordan 11 Cherry joints on? The fit is TTS for me – a nice, secure, comfortable hug. The cushioning – man, it's fantastic. That full-length Air unit never gets old. They’re not the lightest shoes, but you expect that with the 11s. On feet, that patent leather shine is even more noticeable in person than in pics. On the flip side, who might want to pass? If you're looking for a pure performance basketball shoe in 2023, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer super muted tones, the vibrant red here might be too much. It’s a loud, proud colorway—not for the faint of heart.
