Jordan 11 Retro Cherry (2022)
The Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry (2022) with style code CT8012-116 brings back one of the most beloved Jordan silhouettes in a clean Chicago-inspired colourway. First released on 10 December 2022, this pair reimagines the classic AJ11 look that Michael Jordan wore during his historic 72–10 season, now dressed in crisp white and bold Varsity Red. With its shiny patent leather mudguard, frosted icy outsole and full-length Air cushioning, the Jordan 11 Cherry combines on-court history with off-court lifestyle appeal. For collectors and everyday wearers alike, the Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry (2022) is a statement piece that still feels surprisingly easy to style.
Colorway: White / Varsity Red / Black
The Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry features a white ballistic mesh and smooth leather upper that sets the tone for the clean, high-contrast design. Wrapping around the entire shoe sits a glossy Varsity Red patent leather mudguard, giving the pair its signature “Cherry” personality and that unmistakable AJ11 shine. Matching red hits appear on the embroidered Jumpman at the ankle, tongue details and insole branding, tying the Chicago-inspired palette together. A white Phylon midsole houses the full-length Air unit, delivering lightweight cushioning that feels just as premium today as it did in the 90s. Underfoot, a translucent icy outsole with Varsity Red traction pods and a carbon fibre shank plate showcases the technical DNA of the Jordan 11 while keeping grip and stability on point. Subtle black accents on the tongue tag and under the outsole round off the White / Varsity Red / Black colourway, making CT8012-116 one of the cleanest holiday Jordan 11 releases of recent years.
How does the Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry (2022) fit?
The Air Jordan 11 Retro Cherry (2022) generally fits true to size, similar to most standard Jordan 11 releases. The combination of padded collar, mesh tongue and structured patent leather mudguard creates a snug, supportive feel through the midfoot and heel. If you have normal-width feet and like your Jordans to feel secure without being overly tight, your regular Air Jordan or Nike basketball size will usually be ideal. Because the patent leather has less give than suede or mesh, wide-footed wearers or anyone between two sizes may prefer going half a size up for a bit more room in the toe box. Overall, the Jordan 11 Cherry offers a classic, slightly snug performance-oriented fit that breaks in nicely after a few wears, making it comfortable for both casual use and the occasional on-court session.
