First off, the box is clean, and inside... wow. That classic Jordan 11 silhouette just hits different. The mix of that white patent leather - or "Cherry" patent, I should say - against the white upper is super sharp, honestly. It's a premium look right out of the gate, no doubt. For $225, you expect that quality, and it's here. 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. Now, a potential con for some: that high-cut silhouette and the overall weight. If you're used to ultra-light, low-top runners? The Air Jordan 11 'Cherry' will feel substantial, maybe even a bit bulky. It's part of the design DNA, but worth noting if you prioritize a barely-there feel on foot. Now, a potential con... the patent leather. On this "Air Jordan 11 Cherry", it's a fingerprint magnet, and over time, it will crease—there's no avoiding that. Some people dislike that feel, so just be aware. Also, that icy outsole will yellow... it's inevitable. So, if you're a perfectionist about keeping your kicks pristine, that might bother you.
