Air jordan 11 cmft low : Comparing it directly to my retro AJ11 Lows? It's lighter on foot, no question [oxy334oh]

The lack of a full-length carbon fiber plate is noticeable in structure, but you gain in flexibility. It's a trade-off. If you want that classic, performance-ready "feel", this isn't it. But if you want the legendary AJ11 look with a couch-comfort vibe? "Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low" nails it. On feet, the design really pops. This 'Cement Grey' colorway is super versatile. The iconic patent leather mudguard is there, but it's toned down—more of a matte finish? It's less flashy than the shiny OG version, which I actually prefer for casual fits. The "Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low" looks great in motion, very sleek and modern. 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. So, who is this for? Honestly, it's perfect for the casual sneakerhead who loves the "Jordan 11" silhouette but wants a truly easy, wearable shoe. Think of it as a premium lifestyle sneaker with Jordan DNA. At around $180 USD, it sits in a decent spot. It's not a budget shoe, but you're paying for that brand recognition and proven comfort tech.
