The Air Jordan 11 is arguably one of the most popular sneaker silhouettes in existence. Its striking use of patent leather made everyone reconsider what constitutes a "sneaker" and what contexts wearing a pair is appropriate for. Since its initial release, it's been steadily re-released in a variety of colourways, celebrated as an annual holiday tradition for Nike and Jordan (brand), proudly worn both on the basketball court and to more formal functions like weddings and graduation ceremonies.

Beyond the scheduled "retro" releases, the 11 also occasionally sees alternative designs, such as this "CMFT" Low variant, which trades out the Cordura-style ballistic nylon and carbon fibre shank for more breathable textiles and softer midsoles, emphasizing its "comfort" namesake.

Recently, there was a new colourway of the CMFT Low that highly resembles one of the original Air Jordan 11 colourways, the Columbia ("Legend") Blue that I considered picking up, but I already have a pair of the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low "Legend Blue" (2021) that I haven't even started wearing yet.
