.. sleeker than expected. The reduced collar height makes a huge difference. They're more of a lifestyle shoe now. In natural light, the mix of materials actually works. Don't get me wrong, purists might hate the lack of patent leather, but for daily wear? These "air jordan 11 cmft low" are way more versatile and, frankly, more comfortable. Let's talk looks. On-camera, this 'University Blue' colorway pops. But, here's the thing—without the carbon fiber shank and the stiff patent leather, it loses that formal AJ11 elegance. It's more of a casual, lifestyle vibe. If you're a purest? You might side-eye it. But for $150, you're getting a super wearable, comfy summer shoe. Last thought: I appreciate Jordan Brand trying new things. Not every model has to be a retro. The CMFT line, like this AJ11, offers a different experience. It keeps the series fresh. So, for the 150 USD asking price, would I recommend it? Yes—but "only" if you understand and want exactly what it is: a comfy, lifestyle spin on a legend. Final verdict? For me, this is a win. The 'White and University Red' is fire. It's a go-to for casual wear, travel, or just looking good without sacrificing comfort. It's not trying to be the original – and that's its strength. If that sounds good to you, grab a pair. If not, the standard retros are still there. Thanks for watching
