The 'Cherry' colorway, specifically, feels more vibrant and playful than the classic 'Concord' or 'Bred' colorways. It's less about heritage and more about making a bold, fun style statement, you know? Now, a potential con for some: that high-gloss patent leather. It "can" crease over time, and some folks prefer a nubuck or suede look. Also, at $225, it's a significant investment. If you're looking for a pure performance basketball shoe in 2024, there are more modern—and lighter—options than this retro. My final take? The air jordan 11 cherry is a "strong" release. It honors the legacy of the 11s while delivering a fun, energetic twist. The craftsmanship is solid, the on-foot presence is undeniable. I'm keeping my pair for sure. It fills a specific slot in a rotation: the "classic-yet-bold" option. Just go in knowing what it is— a lifestyle icon, not a performance beast. Conversely, who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort and lightweight performance above all – maybe look at a Jordan 37 or something more modern. Also, if you already have a white-based AJ11 like the Concord or the 'Cool Grey,' the 'Cherry' might feel a bit redundant in your collection. Think about your needs and existing rotation.
