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)
-
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!
-
A really knowledge review! Just ordered them ❤
-
Now that’s a 🇵🇭 calves
-

This was a really nice review good job bud
-
A well detailed analization for the new Jordan XXXVIII. Very well said. By far best basketball shoes for 2023.
-
Great stuff as always WT team!
-
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.
-
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 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...
-
good breakdown, i look forward to breaking mine in! nice dimes in the clips btw lol
-
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. 👍
-
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!
-
love the design so much, but I experienced pain in my posterior ankle after an hour game. still will keep playin on these
-
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
-
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.
