Pros: light oldschool basketball shoe with awesome traction and snug fit

Cons: poorest cushioning of all Air Jordans

First of all I don't own the OGs or the 1994 retros but the 2001 (neutral grey/silver mids) , 2007 (Alpha mids) and 2012 (USA hi straps) ones.
I balled mostly in the 2001 mids and while the cushioning was terrible and the midsole on the forefoot quite nonexistent, it had unexpected grip on the court and even makes the sqeaking sound of asphalt!
The ankle support is between OK and good. Fit is snug and very suitable for balling.
The 2007 and 2012 retros have somehow a stiffer midsole and the forefoot bottom seems to be
less thin than the 2001.
I usually balled in them with some insoles like the spencos from Footlocker to get better cushioning.
Not the best shoe to ball nowadays for sure, but considering it being a shoe from 1985 I still prefer
these over the AJ 6, 11.
