Review: Jordan Work'm - Black/Met Slvr-Light Graphite

From the cards with the kicks...

JORDAN WORK'M -At the heart of the Jordan Work'm is its unique combination of aggressive colors, premium quality materials and high-performance technology in a full-length encapsulated Nike Airsole unit and lightweight mesh for breathability.

ATHLETE INSPIRATION -The source of inspiration for the Jordan Work'm are summertime ballers everywhere who continue to embody and represent the spirit of impromptu basketball.

DESIGN INSPIRATION -The design inspiration for the Jordan Work'm extends from the evolution of the game of basketball, with outdoor attitude and style mixed with indoor sophistication and structural support.

On to the review...

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 144 lbs.
Shoe Size: 9.5

*After one(1) wearing outside*

Comfort and fit - Found the shoes very comfortable and to fit very well; lacing system allows for lots of customization for different fits; cushioning is very thick, but leaves your foot feeling good throughout the wearing; very comfortable shoe, think it may take a little bit of wearing for some people to get used to, though

Cushioning - Cushioning is very thick; should hold up for a very long time; after one wearing, my feet felt great; althought cushioning is thick, these still have good court feel

Traction - Outdoor traction is great; didn't slip or slide around at all; will be playing in these indoor on Monday, so I'll post up how the indoor traction is then

Ankle Support - Wow!; this is where the shoe really excells!; amazing ankle support, you can feel it while playing; I have no worries at all about hurting my ankles in these; great for outdoor basketball

Overall - Overall, the Jordan Work'm does not disappoint! For my First non-Air Jordan since the original Team Jordan 1 almost 7 years ago, I am very pleased with these. If you're looking for a durable, well-performing, long-lasting shoe, and one for an affordable price, the Jordan Work'm is for you. I like these better than the Air Jordan XX's and Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K5's, and may have finally found a pair of shoes to get me out of my Nike Air Zoom Drive's.

Good review bro, just a question...... Do you happen to have the Zoom 20-5-5? If so, how would you compare them to the Work'ms? Cheers.

The Jordan Work'm (size 11) weighs 18.4 oz, and the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 (size 11) weighs 15.4 oz. Information gathered from Ko.

So with the weight being 18.4 ounces in a size 11, do you find it to be a lil' heavy?

^ I'm wearing a size 9.5, and I don't really find them that bulky. As I mentioned, I've been playing in Zoom Drives, and these don't feel all that heavy comparatively. They Jordan Work'm's weigh less than the Air Jordan XX.

Thanks man. I've been wearing the Zoom drives as well and I'm currently looking for another shoe to add to the outdoor rotation that i've got going.

Great review BTW.

I played in them outside again yesterday, and nothing changed, they were great once again. I wore them to play in indoors for the first time today, and I didn't find them all that great. Didn't have good court feel and had terrible traction. I'm going to give them another try tomorrow, but after that it's back to the Nike Air Zoom Drive for me.

Just a FYI to everyone, there is an EXCELLENT review done by none other than Professor K available online to EVERYONE for free. He has the review uploaded, but it's not linked on the website yet. I'll include the URL right here.
enjoy!

take out the spaces =/ ISS is apparantly censored for some reason

Does the shoe fit true to size? I'm thinking of getting them with all the 30% savings popping out everywhere. Thanks for the review.

The all or nothing days.

thanks for the review. bought these instead of the kobe huarache's at champs with the f&f... definitely worth the 76+tax that they cost.

they're lighter thsn they seem and prof. k was right when he said they look nice with a pair of jeans (not that it has to do anything with performance).

also, prof. k's review of them is posted... on jumpman23.com

i wear an 11 in 2k4's, so should that be okay for these too?

No more updates from me. I've just stuck with these for my outdoor ball shoe. To sum things up on these, great outdoor ball shoe and below average indoor ball shoe.

Thanks.
