Air Jordan 11 Retro ‘Cherry’

Jordan Brand brought back a fan-favorite Air Jordan 11 colorway with the Cherry, a predominantly white and red combination that had last seen wide release years before its 2026 return. The AJ11 has long been one of Jordan Brand’s most anticipated retro silhouettes whenever it drops, and the Cherry colorway came with significant pent-up demand.

Patent leather across the lower foot, the iconic carbon fiber shank plate, and the clean red and white blocking made for a sharp, aggressive look that translated as well to formal occasions as it did to basketball. The Cherry AJ11 was one of February’s top-selling releases by a wide margin.

The Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry retailed at $225 and released February 7, 2026 through Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers globally.
