This is a fantastic review. You talked about every nook & cranny of the shoe. Love your vibe bro. Keep it up.

[@HoneycombManila]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelhowd1275]

Great review my guy . Just grabbed a pair of the orange.

[@HoneycombManila]

I have tons of sneakers and I keep reaching for these. Great pick up!

Great video I jus ordered these

[@HoneycombManila]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@thekidflames]

Incredible review, fam. Super thorough. Just grabbed a pair from StockX below retail and very excited to get them. Was looking for a pair as comfortable as my Bred Flyknit 1’s and had been looking at the Royal Flyknits, but $300 is tough to justify, even as a head, for a shoe that retailed at $150 (resellers are insane). My wife has a pair of the CMFT 2 multi colorway and she swears by them. Good stuff, bro!

[@HoneycombManila]

Hoping to record an "after 100 days evaluation" soon, voz i actually have a lot more feedback

[@BattleForTheHotel]

I love this review.

[@HoneycombManila]

Thanks for your kind words 🙏

[@aaronkelley1425]

I had two pair Jordan ones. My favorite shoe. They should put that bottom on every Jordan one because the Jordan 1 is very uncomfortable but that bottom on the zoom is very very comfortable

Agree!

[@jk-terminator]

Very good video.! Midsole cushioning softness more than cmft1? thank you.

[@HoneycombManila]

Difficult to say. even if I had both in the same size, the 1 could be broken in or bottomed out. In hand, the 1 feels softer to the touch when squeezed but this does not always translate on foot

[@lvhd3452]

Nice review! New subscriber here paps at bago lang din s field ng Jordans, medyo hesitant kumuha ng Jordans kasi baka ndi comfortable. Usually boost technology shoes (Pharell's, Yeezy's, NMD's etc) kasi mga gngmit ko. Would u say that Jordans CMFT is as comfortable as ultraboost or my mrrecommend kang Jordans for comfort and style? Thanks!

[@HoneycombManila]

Well, it's comfortable "for a Jordan 1." Meaning that there are lots of other more comfortable shoes. It's definitely not as cushy as an ultra boost, but you're not trying to compare it to a modern runner. It's a retro from 1985 that's been updated to be more comfortable, where as the ultra boost or the more comfy Invincible Run that's Zoom X are designed from day 1 here in 2023 to be the top of the line in being lightweight and performance focused. The Jordan 1 CMFT 2 is a compromise designed to give you some of the Jordan 1 styling without sacrificing comfort too much. It's an entirely different problem that they're trying to address.

Getting the uni blue and grey. Very soon. My 1st j1. Full suade biggest thing to make a shoe super comfortable. I have full suade dunk high sb pro decon a mouthful i love those so comfortable.

[@HoneycombManila]

Good choice! Yes, suede being (for the most part) a single layer, means that there's no stiffener on the exterior of the leather that makes it somewhat less comfortable. It's that stiffer layer that eventually creases on most shoes.

[@HoneycombManila]

Probably not. You'd likely need to wade through a flood for that to happen.

[@blacknapalm2131]

*These are low key one of my favorite releases of 2022* Try them with red laces to make em pop, or with dark navy blue laces to mix it up

[@HoneycombManila]

true! I'll try it

[@MrFergTV]

picked these up in Australia on the 2022 release. Changed for red laces and they are amazing. Slightly narrower toebox than some AJ1 lows I have, but put some solid walking miles in them. I'm happy to take the US11 size, but if you were really worried about a little toe rub, then half size might be a good option.

[@ammymike7]

Do you mind sharing pictures of yours with red laces? Really curious to check how red laces would be looking.

[@HoneycombManila]

Funny, it feels wider in the toe to me, but tighter in the collar. Now I understand what the ankle holes are for!

well, up until today, it was the only colorway available! what do you think of the shoe?

[@enricojose3043]

The shoe is comfortable especially the formula 23 and zoom unit placed in the heel. I'm glad I buy this pair over the true blue 1s

[@vinceduzar2726]

Just Ordered AJ 1 Zoom CMFT 2 'Black & Fire Red' and the sizing is really OFF. I'm usually size 11 or 11.5 but damn size 11 is really tight this time and I think what would be comfortable is size 12. So I recommend 1 size higher than usual.

[@HoneycombManila]

I think that the sizing is just right once you get them on foot. They're like the Air Fear Of God 1's in this respect. The collar is really tight upon entry, but once your foot gets into the gussetted tongue, it's TTS.

[@vinceduzar2726]

@@HoneycombManila just too tight man its like squeezing my foot too much esp when you wear it for plenty of hours..

[@RocketGam3r]

Hello, one question, do the zoom cmft 2 have the same height level as a jordan 1 high?

[@HoneycombManila]

Yes, but it's negligable. Comparing against 6 pairs of the Jordan 1 High OG, they are about 2-4mm shorter in average.

[@BGRUBBIN]

How much harder is this F23 compared the CFMT 1s

[@HoneycombManila]

I don't have both in my size, but in hand the new one feels springy-er and a lot like React

[@daechangnim]

Has anyone have success in playing basketball in these shoes? Hoping to gather some opinions before buying these to play in. Court material is like a covered court in the Philippines

[@HoneycombManila]

I tried it. It's not bad but it's not good haha! I wouldn't lace all the way up. Only to the elbow.

[@daechangnim]

@@HoneycombManila thankyou for getting back to me! Contemplating of getting a pair along with the Nike Elevate 3 basketball shoe.

[@soniklr]

How to clean this shoes? I have got some scuff marks on the synthetic material

[@HoneycombManila]

Try Reshoevenator. Works for me in a pinch, but I prefer to use an ultrasonic cleaning service that they have available near my house, that costs about $6 and is nondestructive, using sound waves.

[@user-vw6vf8ly1j]

This is my first time buying Jordans. I don't know the fit. I normally wear size 43, but there is no stock left, so I bought size 44. It's in shipping now. Will it be too big for my feet?

[@HoneycombManila]

It will probably be fine. if anything, your foot should slide in more easily

[@smoofsg]

Do you think it will be waterproof enough for snow conditions?

[@HoneycombManila]

I don't thinks so, but I have also never seen snow as I live in the Philippines. Sorry!

[@rasgras2710]

Is the box bigger then the normal size boxes or is it just me ?

[@HoneycombManila]

size is normal

[@christiandhavedesamparado4640]

Sir how to clean up this if being dirt?

[@HoneycombManila]

Personally, I go to a neighborhood service (Metropole in Manila) that uses ultrasonic technique. Costs only $7 USD per pair and it's the best.

[@kendizon4823]

Nice review, pls give us feedback after wearing it for 6 months,i would really appreciate that. Thanks your subscriber from the Philippines.🤗

[@HoneycombManila]

Will do something like that

[@chasteeneillprado1615]

Update?

[@TheBiggestMexicano]

How bad do they crease?

[@HoneycombManila]

so far, they've not creased at all. This "unusual synthetic material" tends to make bigger bumps than leather when flexed, and thus creasing has not yet been an issue

[@bediparth]

I was planning to buy these but wasn’t sure about the size I have Pegasus 39 of size 8, will I have the same size for these sneakers? Or should I go for 8.5 or 9?

[@HoneycombManila]

go with your true size, expect it to be hard to slip on, but very comfy once on-foot.

@@HoneycombManila thanks a ton :)

Yess but more comfortable

[@ammymike7]

No they are lighter

[@HoneycombManila]

[@KHAN-hv9wy]

Hey honeycomb con you tell us how to identify fake ones?

[@HoneycombManila]

Probably it will come down to comfort. There's a lot of technology that goes into this, and fakes don't do a good job replicating advanced foams and zoom units.

[@KHAN-hv9wy]

@@HoneycombManila can you make a small short about this it's a request....

[@Alstarlacrosse]

How would you say these fit compared to normal AJ1?

[@HoneycombManila]

because of the gussetted tongue, it's harder to get on vs a standard AJ1. A shoe horn helps. Once they are on, they are true to size, but a little looser in the toe area. The gussetted tongue also allows you to use very loose lacing (for style) but the shoe stays snug on your foot.

[@kumas7337]

Are these shoes mids or highs?

[@HoneycombManila]

highs

[@ironj8693]

Do they crease

[@HoneycombManila]

not really. the curve on flex, and it seems to prevent creasing

[@Malenia_BOM]

Bro…they’re shoes they WILL crease, if you don’t want that to happen you would need to walk like a special ed guy or walk with your hands, just enjoy the shoes they won’t exist forever.

[@HoneycombManila]

casual indoor hooping, sure. It's not grippy enoiugh to play on dusty outdoor surfaces though, and the rougher outdoor surfaces will eat up the foam. Don't go hard or try to break any ankles, or you might break your own!

Seeing people asking “do they crease?” Is too cringy for me, like bro they’re shoes they WILL crease and for me AJ1’s are like converse shoes, they look better once they start to look like used shoes.
