"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. Here's the real talk. The "pro" of this shoe is all-day comfort. The soft foam, the breathable upper—it's easy to wear. A major "con"? Purists will hate the altered silhouette. The patent leather is lower quality, & the overall vibe is less "heritage," more "mall shoe." The "Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low" isn't trying to be a grail, & that's okay. Potential CON? If you're a purest for the OG AJ11 look & materials, you might be disappointed. That stiff patent leather 'collar' and carbon fiber shank plate are gone. This version leans into lifestyle comfort, not heritage basketball accuracy. At $160, some might want more premium materials, but you're paying for the re-engineered comfort tech. Comparing it directly to my regular Jordan 11 Lows... it's a different beast. The comfort level is "night and day". This CMFT version is lighter and has way more give. The trade-off? You lose that iconic, stiff "boot-like" feel and support. If you want pure nostalgia, get the OG. If you want a modern, comfy shoe that "echoes" the 11's look? This is it.
