I dig them. It has the classic AJ look ,
and the potential for some good colorways

Toe area looks weird on the midsole

I love everything about them! Looks to me as if they checked all the marks of what a classic Air Jordan should be.

The traction pattern looks absolutely awesome.

I'm in for more multiple colorways, can't wait!!!

There's always something with a new Nike/JB sneaker so at this point it's a what is it. Might be these buttons on the sole. The one under the arch is probably fine. The one under the toe could be an issue, but obviously hopefully not.

Barring a shock drop, 3 months, 2 weeks left!

why does the back of the shoe not even look like a back of a shoe?

hopefully they stop using formula 23

Oh ****, same thing posted above

What's your problem with formula 23?

I’m liking what I’m seeing. It’s a futuristic looking Air Jordan to me. I just hope the materials aren’t like a cheap Brooklyn wh0r3.

I agree. Don’t know why they went from the 36 setup to a bottoming out foam. Despite the look of the 37, would have been all over these if they kept or improved the setup coming from the 36. Especially at the prices they have dropped to. Using that foam nonsense was a step backwards.

I just saw a release date for the Jordan 38 Fundamental as August 18, 2023 this is the shoe that's set to release on that date

Guys, I just realized that the side white plastic pieces are plastic incased zoom air. Basically side cushioned zoom.

Is that good,?I have no idea.

I’m guessing they will market it as a more dynamic zoom experience. So, when you press down on your forefoot, the air from the bottom of the shoe will travel up around the sides of your feet to provide you better support. It is a different take on the original cross straps.

How did you realize that?

I'm a huge shoe head. I've been thinking since I saw these that those side pieces looked odd, unless they were some sort of new tech. So, they're doing a more 360 degree approach to zoom--a new sort of "unlocked" where it is now being used to lock in and stabilize the foot in the shoe. You can tell by zooming in (pun intended) that those are long zoom bags, as you can see the seam on the borders. So it's kind of like what they've done with recent Lebrons with air transfer, or what Adidas DMX originally did, just in a more dynamic way.

. They're taking the original idea of the cross strap and flipping it on its head, where now the cross meets on the bottom of the shoe.

Is that Chinese or Vietnamese?

looks Indian to me

I thought that when pics first leaked but with the updated, better pics, I think it’s a stability/spring plate like the Tatums.

I don’t think those are zoom units. They look like a reconfigured isoplate like they used in the Luka 1 for lateral stability

Proceeds to show a fuzzy, non-detailed pic of Tatum‘s shoes torn apart LMAO

literally couldn’t write this or make it up…

I think you’re right despite what others say. Theres no reason to put a clear piece of plastic over a literal zoom colored plate. Just look at those pieces under the clear plastic. They have seams like zoom bags. No reason for those seams and the clear plastic covering them if it’s just a regular plate. Why wouldn’t it just be one color and have no seems If it was just a plate? Also, dimensionally, there’s some width to those pieces under the clear plastic. Why not just slim them down? And if it’s not zoom, it’s close or the next iteration of it. I mean, zoom has been around for so long without any advancements. I think this is how it’ll be used in the future…

I totally think you both totally caught what that setup is voon60 2396bullz and it makes perfect sense. Jordan pushing the envelope on tech.

I’m also interested in the differing weave pattern on the black parts on both sides. Curious as to what Jordan brand will say about it. Will be see some slight different colors/patterns on certain pairs? I doubt it, but could add another fun element.

 

[wizards23brown]

Ya i think y’all are right that’s some kinda zoom cushioning setup on the side.. Nice work

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

What’s your gut tell on how these will rank among performers in the AJ flagship line?
