Air jordan 11 cmft low : Potential CON? If you're a purest for the OG AJ11 look & materials, you might be disappointed [f56moiif]

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 Retro "Air Jordan 11 Low"? It's a different beast. The CMFT Low is noticeably lighter and the upper has way more give. The trade-off is you lose that iconic, rigid support and the "pop" of the patent leather mudguard. It's not better or worse - it's just built for a different purpose: pure, easy comfort over court-ready aesthetics. Think lifestyle vs. performance heritage. Who should skip it? Hardcore collectors seeking 1:1 accuracy. Performance basketball players (obviously). If you live for the stiff, supportive feel of original retros, this cushioning might feel "too" soft & mushy. The "Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low" makes a clear choice: it's a lifestyle shoe first. And that's totally okay! Final verdict? I'm keeping these. For my needs—a stylish, comfortable low-top—the Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low delivers. It's not my go-to for a hype fit, but as a reliable, easy-to-wear shoe? Big yes. Just go in knowing it's a comfort-first reinterpretation, not a replacement. Manage those expectations!
