The Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11 was something of an odd combo, with perhaps the closest association between the two models used for this hybrid being that one was the first Air Max runner while the other was the first basketball sneaker to ever use patent leather. The linkage between the Air Max 97 and Air Jordan XII is somewhat closer, with most of the OG Thirteens also seeing their first drop in 1997. And just as with the Air Max 24/7, elements from the AM97 look strong on the Jordan CMFT Max 12. This first colorway is done in a mesh that slightly resembles the AJ13’s signature ballistic nylon, but you’ll have to wait for the Flint-inspired colorway for that material. Mesh means these’ll be breathable and the colorway is impeccable with how hot grey is at the moment. There’s only one drawback, and that’s the release date, which has been moved back from next Saturday to one week later, November 13th. via JB
