It keeps the soul of the 11 but modernizes everything else. The comfort is real—perfect for walks, travel, etc. At $175 USD, it's a fair ask for the tech. Who's it for? The casual wearer. Who should skip it? Anyone seeking the exact 1996 feel. For me? A successful, comfortable evolution. On feet right now. The fit is true-to-size, with a nice, snug—not tight—feel. The sole is softer than expected! Visually, the lowered collar changes the whole profile, but in a good, modern way. Pros? Breathability and comfort. Cons? It loses that iconic, stiff AJ11 "bootie" feel. Worth it at $175? For casual wear, 100%. However, here’s a potential con: if you’re a purest for the OG 11 design and materials, you might be disappointed. The "Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low" swaps the legendary patent leather for softer stuff, which changes the whole character. It loses that formal, "dressed-up" sneaker feel. It’s a trade-off: you gain everyday comfort but lose some of that iconic, crispy aesthetic. Let's talk looks on camera. This design... it's a grower. From afar, you see the 11's iconic elements—the patent mudguard? Well, it's a "soft" synthetic here. Up close, the deconstructed feel is obvious. It won't satisfy purists wanting that OG glossy look, but as a casual, low-profile summer shoe? The Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low pulls it off. It’s understated.
