After almost a year of rumors, teaser images, and early releases, the Air Jordan 11 “Cherry” (“White/Varsity Red”) finally hits a wide selection of retailers tomorrow, December 10th.
Since the earliest mock-up of the two-tone sneaker emerged spectators were skeptical about the sneaker, but the design’s backstory might’ve persuaded some into buying the pair. Countless new and old Air Jordan fans had been begging Team Jumpman to retro another style of the 11th sneaker in Michael Jordan’s signature line to no avail. The “White” and “Varsity Red” ensemble, however, is rooted in the curiosity of what another team color would’ve looked like for #23 during his time with the Chicago Bulls. The bolder of the two hues takes over everything from the patent leather mudguard to the inner-lining. Underfoot, the tried-and-proven outsole opts for a clear, icy finish that helps the aforementioned details pop that much more.
