The classic patent leather mudguard... in that bright, vibrant cherry red against the white – it "really" pops. For $225 USD, you expect great materials, and honestly? Jordan Brand delivered here. It's that timeless Jordan 11 silhouette we all love, just in a super clean, summer-ready colorway. A definite win for the collection. 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? Sizing & comfort on the AJ11 Cherry is on point – true to size, great for all-day wear. Comparing it to something like a Jordan 1? Completely different world – way more cushioning. The downside? That beautiful red patent leather can crease. It's part of the charm, but if you're super nit-picky about keeping shoes pristine, it's something to consider. Walking around in these, I’m reminded why the Jordan 11 is so beloved. The comfort is consistent, and the silhouette is just undeniably cool. However, if you prefer a super lightweight, minimalist sneaker—like some newer Jordan models—the 11 might feel a bit bulky to you. For me, though? The trade-off for that iconic look and feel is totally worth it with this Cherry version.
