FAQs
What makes the Air Jordan 11 'Cherry' stand out?
The 'Cherry' model stands out due to its striking cherry red patent leather mudguards, a bold colorway that pays homage to classic Chicago Bulls aesthetics, combined with the iconic silhouette of the Air Jordan 11.
Are these suitable for playing basketball?
While the Air Jordan 11 was originally designed with basketball performance in mind, the 'Cherry' retro is primarily intended as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For intense athletic performance, dedicated modern basketball shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the patent leather sections?
Gently wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For a polished look, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly.
What size is a UK 15 in adult men's footwear?
UK 15 is a large size in adult men's footwear, generally suitable for individuals with bigger feet.
How does the carbon fiber plate contribute to the shoe?
The carbon fiber plate in the midsole provides enhanced torsional rigidity, support, and responsiveness, contributing to both comfort and a more stable feel during wear.
What is the typical material composition of the Air Jordan 11?
The Air Jordan 11 typically features a combination of leather, patent leather, ballistic nylon mesh (though less prominent on some retros like this), and a rubber outsole with a carbon fiber shank.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is advisable to avoid wearing the Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry in wet or rainy conditions, as moisture can damage the leather and patent leather components and affect the longevity of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Patent leather appears dull or smudged.
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For a shine, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner or a very small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth.
Creasing on the patent leather.
Creasing is natural with patent leather. To minimize it, avoid sharply bending the shoe when walking and store with shoe trees. Do not over-tighten laces, which can exacerbate creasing.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or rubbing. Try inserting a small amount of talcum powder or a dryer sheet under the insole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.
Discoloration on the icy blue outsole.
Yellowing can occur over time, especially with exposure to UV light. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For significant yellowing, specialized outsole cleaners might help, but prevention through proper storage is key.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Patent Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness and appearance of the leather.
- Outsole Care: Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a soft brush.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape and prevent creasing in the patent leather.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose to extreme heat or prolonged moisture, as this can degrade the materials.
