The "CMFT" stands for something here - the cushioning is soft right out of the box. It lacks that stiff, structured feel of a retro 11, which is a "major" pro for all-day wear. The upper is flexible and breathable. If you hated breaking in your classic Jordans, this version solves that problem instantly. Final thoughts: This isn't a replacement for the Retro 11. It's its own thing – a comfort-focused, lifestyle spin. I love it for what it is: a super wearable, head-turning shoe. The pros (amazing comfort, iconic look) far outweigh the cons (not for purists) for my personal wardrobe. Let's talk materials. The upper is a mix of leather and textile—it's fine. Don't expect premium tumbled leather. It's meant to be soft and reduce weight. For the price, it's acceptable. The comfort system is where the value is. You're paying for that engineered feel, not ultra-lux materials. Just keeping it real with you all. Alright, on foot now. "First impression" of the "Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low"? "Wow", it is comfortable. The "CMFT" in the name isn't lying. That full-length foam setup is plush right from the first step. It's not super bouncy like some modern basketball shoes, but it's a "fantastic" all-day comfort shoe. The weight is really reasonable, too. Feels lighter than a standard Jordan 11 low, for sure.
