I really like this year’s model. Honestly, no shoe is worth $200 for me. If I can’t get it on discount at 10 or 20 percent I won’t buy it. I can afford it at MSRP, I just choose not to pay that price. Be it Jordan’s, Lebron’s, etc. The sole issues I’ve seen also make my decision really easy. You’ve done a good breakdown on this model. 👍
Personally I love this shoe. My favorite shoe to play in currently. I haven't had the sole separation... yet.... but the cushion is amazing in these.. maybe they'll address the sole issue of they make a low
I've worn the 38s for a couple weeks now and it's an awesome shoe right out of the box! I do have flat feet and slightly wider but I had almost no problems with fit. The laces do need to be adjusted while breaking in but you never get so loose that you slip out. I did experience the outsole missing chunks and a fraying by the notches in the forefoot. The cushion is awesome! Heel stopping is an issue because of the curve shape and you may have slips outs. Still great on stability tho. Not as explosive feeling as the 34 or 36 tho.
I checked my pair out of the box, and while there was no sole separation, I can see how it will happen with wear: the X-Plate involves cutouts in the outsole which result in it coming to sharp points in several places, and the glue in those areas will take on excessive strain and eventually fail. Oh well. This will be far from the first Jordan where I've had to reglue the outsole...
Thanks for the review! Really in depth per usual The pivots and everything make this seem a perfect basketball shoe for playing badminton in (yes..I do that)
There designed for indoor hardwood performance so the outdoor to me is irrelevant That’s like taking a Ferrari off road and saying the car is terrible. Just my opinion. Still dope review besides the outdoor part
Great review bro! Pro tip for the laces/tongue movement, go over under on the just the last lace loop and the laces don’t untie/loosen nearly as easily as under over! Hope that helps!
Thanks for doing a Performance review for this new shoe which I believe the design on this newest Jordan looks amazing and also is functional. Thanks for RePresenting! 🎉
Thanks for a very anticipated review! Happy to see Allen gets straight to the point, while being thorough and specific. Job well done 😎 One question: Allen, have you noticed any significant benefit in toe mobility due to rubber cut around X-plate, or did it felt "as usual with some marketing sugar-coating"? Thanks in advance!
the shoes are brilliant. very comfortable. very good cushioning. perfect for people who have Achilles problems, because the cut at the back means that nothing causes pressure. Unfortunately, after two games in the hall, the sole is damaged. in the same way as Allen's. I managed to buy the shoes for $150, I will wear them for a while but I will definitely file a complaint. but honestly they are so good that I will order them again.
I’ve played twice in them so far indoors and they felt great needs a little breaking in but on the 2nd time a chunk of the bottom sole came off by the x plate
You’d think with the heat other brands are coming out with that Nike/Jordan would tighten up. Guessing they’ll fix the issues with these once again with the lows
I wonder how the long-term use on just indoor court use only would lengthen the durability of the shoes. That plastic floor on the outdoor court might not be the best surface for those shoes. Let's see.
I'm considering buying these or the 37. Saw other reviews and your reviews, and I must say you probably are the best sneaker reviewer on RUclips. The amount of detail you go through is just incredible. Overall, what would you recommend, this or the 37? P.S. I'm a forty year old man. Not really going to play on these much but want to know your thoughts. Thank you!
Love these shoes. They grip the court and offer great stability. But the soles on mine already separated after less than 10 hours on the court, too. I returned and replaced them once, but seems like will be an issue going forward. What's the best way to maintain? Seems like shoe glue will just rip after a couple games.
Bought 2 pairs but already returned 1 due to the forefoot rubber breaking off after 2 games...I like the design and how it translate into the product but they are not durable, not up to the standard of flagship model.
For me, the sizing was really weird. I have worn an 11.5 US since the 34, yet even going down to a 10.5 US the shoe ran long. No idea what happned there
Felt pain in my right foot in the middle of the shoe on the inside right where that big plastic piece is. Experienced this from doing shifty hard cuts. I'm returning them but overall an excellent shoe. Just doesn't fit my playing style.
I tried the 38's and i could really feel the side big plastic parts on the outside. I tried half and a full size bigger and it helped but then they got to be too big. Very comfortable shoe except for that plastic part for me and i been waiting for the black and aqua colors for a while.
I got my pair … didn’t even put em on … the soles hard ring plastic in the forefoot wasn’t in place si the air bubble or whatever was all messed up .. sent em back asap .. and now I just found em for 160 on sale so good thing I suppose lol
so my 4 yr old j34 still intact when it looked flimsy af, while you play in these for a month and the outsole is already breaking. thanks, ill stick with the all pro nitro and probably get a lebron 20 or 21 pare
I've heard the durability of the outsole is terrible, I just ordered the PF version from Asia with XDR outsole, I wonder would that problem still happens?
Just got this shoe and has xdr outsole. So separations as of now and I think it will last for a longer time. Played with them for 3 hours and it felt a little bottomed out. I cant feel the strobel and cushlon maybe bacause the insole is too thick.
Great performance but unfortunately after 5-6 hours there was deterioration and sole separation so for the amount they cost they are going back to Nike for a refund there's no way you should expect this for that price!!!

37s in my area are a $100 too I will gladly be buying these next year
You just have to wait it out a few months. I was able to get some Jordan 37 low for 90 at champs. And it ain’t that old since it’s release
@@JoshuaYeshuaCSULB I just bought the 37 for 100 too. Can't beat the last year's model sale

Thanks! I should’ve clearly stated that it started peeling even after just indoor play. I get you though.

Great tip! I’ll try it next time👍

love the design so much, but I experienced pain in my posterior ankle after an hour game.

This guy makes the best reviews

good breakdown, i look forward to breaking mine in! nice dimes in the clips btw lol
A really knowledge review! Just ordered them ❤
Great looking shoe. Looks like the construction just needs a bit of work.
My bottoms did the same thing, I’ll be getting the low soon
Bought 2 pairs but already returned 1 due to the forefoot rubber breaking off after 2 games...I like the design and how it translate into the product but they are not durable, not up to the standard of flagship model.
These 38s are fire, coming from the 34 lows and the jump 2s
rly appreciate the review, and good jump shot bro!😂

Thank you for your review. Nice dime also 0:53
Latest Jordans looks like samples to me design language is changed with it's craftsmanship and proportions.
Thank you for the nice review,
You know it’s a good day when Allen uploads 🫡
I tried the 38's and i could really feel the side big plastic parts on the outside. I tried half and a full size bigger and it helped but then they got to be too big. Very comfortable shoe except for that plastic part for me and i been waiting for the black and aqua colors for a while.
make sure you get a half size up. I got my normal size and got really bad blisters they fit snug so half size up .
Do you guys have any tips on cleaning the shoes tysm.
Great review as always
How fast are they? Also how high do they jump?
On point with the Sole Sep! I only played twice on these and had to return them because of that.
Great performer but bad quality
I got my pair … didn’t even put em on … the soles hard ring plastic in the forefoot wasn’t in place si the air bubble or whatever was all messed up .. sent em back asap .. and now I just found em for 160 on sale so good thing I suppose lol
For $200, i dont know maan, WOW 10 really killin it last year and that was the gold standart
Great stuff as always WT team!
Can these shoes be used for any kinds of outdoor courts?
so my 4 yr old j34 still intact when it looked flimsy af, while you play in these for a month and the outsole is already breaking. thanks, ill stick with the all pro nitro and probably get a lebron 20 or 21 pare
Mall Store, Website + Eastbay? How they feel?, Up to date?
Def gonna grab a pair when it goes on discount
Its one of the best bb shoes ive ever worn. Only issue is i kept losing traction with toe end while playing in them
I've heard the durability of the outsole is terrible, I just ordered the PF version from Asia with XDR outsole, I wonder would that problem still happens?
All ways can count on wear tester for basketball performance... Test
Had to send them back after a month of playing only indoor
Outsole and upper fabric was calling apart...
Just got this shoe and has xdr outsole. So separations as of now and I think it will last for a longer time. Played with them for 3 hours and it felt a little bottomed out. I cant feel the strobel and cushlon maybe bacause the insole is too thick.
A good shoe indeed, looks like the jordan 5 with performance of J35 or 36
I bought a pair for my daughter for highschool team.
Are they/ will they ne slippery?
Only played indoor twice and had sole separation
I'll just wait for these to go on sale for 50% or more like every other signature Jordan model😎
What basketball shoes are worth $200 and above in your opinion.
So what is the top 3 Basketball shoes ?
What was dude doing at 5:06
Paid $100 for the FIBA 38. Got lucky. Hopefully the outsole holds up though.
That’s not an outdoor basketball shoe though… correct?
j38 low review
Another great review. Thank you.
Great performance but unfortunately after 5-6 hours there was deterioration and sole separation so for the amount they cost they are going back to Nike for a refund there's no way you should expect this for that price!!!
Pretty nice!
Outsole separation happening that fast is an automatic no for me dawg
This was a really nice review good job bud
Can anyone tell me That Is This Better Than jordan 11’s???
Seems like a good shoe but looks like the way of wade low 10 is getting my money. Much better tech and build quay
Bravo!
for anyone watching in late 2024, these are reselling for less than 100$ in most sizes
Shoes! Collectional, Past, Future..
Looks, slam dunker!
AJ 37 Low is better cause of better durability
Well, damn. That sucks. I was pretty excited about that shoe. Send that shit back to Nike.
Design is all gimmick. The best one is jordan 29 tested durability and comfort.😊
outsole SEPARATION on a brand new shoe!!! WOW
Hallway? 7 letterer!
These are a easy easy PASS‼️
thats still better than the lebron21 worth 10k+ php
They must have designed these in the dark
Nike replaces all shoes within 2 years for free.
Is this true?
@@christopherstemmer5855 I’ve been doing it since the 90’s
@@rampantcolt what if purchased from another retailer?
@@uploadmeful same deal.
Not this year......39
I will pass.

Those shoes are hideous
