These are a bit better than the black/red CMFT XIII, but I think they're still missing the mark. I don't see why they're not putting suede on these (and I couldn't figure out why the mudguard on the first XI CMFT wasn't patent).
i'm a big fan of the CMFT line. xi's and xii's have a sleek design, on-point colorways, and are very comfortable. but these...i just can't get past the design and colorways. they strayed too far from their inspiration in this case, especially with the difference in materials used.
