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%. Final thoughts? For $160 USD, the "Black Cement" "Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low" is a win for casual wear. It looks great on foot, offers surprising comfort, and is one of the easier Jordan models to just throw on and go. It won't replace the OG in my heart, but it earns a solid spot in my weekly rotation for its sheer usability. Comparing these to my other Jordans? The Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low is "in a different lane". It's not trying to be a retro basketball shoe. It's lighter, "way" more flexible, and the foam is plusher than, say, an AJ1 or an OG AJ11 Mid. It's for all-day wear, not for the court. That's its biggest strength, but also why some purists might pass. Who should maybe skip these? Hardcore collectors who only want OG specs. Also, performance basketball players—this is not a hoops shoe, despite the name. The support is tuned for lifestyle. If the classic 11 Low silhouette is sacred to you, the changes here might feel a bit too drastic. It's a different tool for a different job.
