Air jordan 11 cmft low : Now, a potential con for purists- the design liberties [rdkbdctr]

If you live for the exact structure and shiny patent leather of the original Jordan 11, this might feel off. The Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low remixes those elements. I think it works, but it's not a 1:1 replacement. It's a new option, not a retro. Who is this shoe for? "Listen", if you love the AJ11 look but always found them uncomfortable or too formal, this Air Jordan 11 CMFT Low is your answer. It's for the person who wants style "and" all-day comfort. The sneakerhead who appreciates a smart, wearable reinterpretation of a classic. At $150, it's a justifiable spend for a versatile daily driver. Now, a potential con: the material quality. On some colorways, that patent leather mudguard can feel a bit... plasticky compared to the OG. It's a cost-saving measure for that $150 price tag. Also, true sneakerheads might miss the full-grain leather and structured feel. It's not a "cheap" shoe, but you feel where compromises were made for comfort and cost. So, would I recommend them? "Yes", but with clear expectations. For the "average" sneaker wearer who values comfort and style equally, this is a "win". The Jordan 11 CMFT Low delivers on its promise. But for the "purist" seeking an exact retro experience? You might feel let down. It's all about what "you" want from your sneakers. For me, they're a solid pick-up.
