Air Jordan 38

But the zoom isn't in the flex zone. Notice that where your forefoot flexes you have foam. I still think it's zoom.

voon60 I think you’re right bro, full length Formula 23 carrier midsole placed directly on top of the ‘X Zoom’. You called it

-haven’t seen a shoe where the formula 23 was a “carrier” for zoom yet. Right? Was only specifically segmented part of the entire midsole, from strobel to outsole.
- so bottom loaded zoom?
- previous has double stacked, so this would be a take down of that


I want full length stroebel, plus that forefoot zoom stacked.

Anything less than this, I am going to do what I did with the 37's and what Jordan did when Steve Kerr was wide open in the finals.... PASS

Upon taking a closer look at the pics, that very well might be and X zoom unit, but it doesn't look like the bag actually wraps up, that would be useless. If you look closely at the X on the outsole, there's a difference in color near the midsole where it looks like the zoom bag ends.

Yep. A little Easier to see where it ends in this pic.

I’m liking these a ton. I’m a sucker for simple white/black color ways with an accent color.

 

[jaynev]

And the red being formula 23 foam? Not fully contained either which could be goood. A more responsive application.

Hopefully full length stroebel too

Possibly darker because that’s where the shield ends. It makes no sense to exaggerate an ‘iso plate’ on the medial (neither does zoom but it sells a better story) . Some of the online pics have zeroed in on it—just to highlight a piece of plastic? …I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

 

[SR-71]

Can't wait to test them on court!
They look so amazing.

I'm just as excited as in the old days for theses new J's, counting the days like a little kid waiting for XMas!!!

If the midsole is full F-23, it would make sense to me that the plate would wrap up for stability

Is it both? Looks like there could be an x plate just for the bottom with the zoom overlayed that wraps up into the midsole. Thats why the x looks like it stops before wrapping around the midsole? Kinda looks like that x plate might be possibly protruding through the bottom of the shoe making that circle surrounding that 23 design, almost like its the same material…

I don’t know whats going on with that shoe, but im super intrigued and we need tech specs sooner rather than later…

 

[sooperhooper]

Remind me of these

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I can’t wait to see a rainking special in these with his joggers on, legs kicked up and crossed in his toy room.

 

[JRaW’d]

Love these.

Wish the tongue was scaled down a bit but thats not enough to stop me coppin.

Lotta potential with different colorway variations.

 

[hitman243]

getting some 14 vibes from the midsole and sole shots

 

[Vegeta's hairline]

Better than the 37

 

[airtwo3jrdn]

Safer than the 37 for sure.

 

[Mister Meaner]

37 didn’t really set a high bar.

Arguably the worst Js of all time if I have a moment to think about it.

And there have been some stonkers along the way so that’s quite an accomplishment.

Top rival could be those dress shoe inspired jawns w/ the different insoles iirc.

Or maybe the glory hole Js that, probably with how life has gone on, were appropriately pushed by DWade in its campaign.

 

[airtwo3jrdn]

Nah

 

[dmoney23444]

I put aj2012 and aj37 at the bottom on the totem pole. I hoop in 37 lows, but shape of the highs and lenoweave is just awful to look at.

 

[JRaW’d]

The bordeaux’s were @ FL for 100. Passed on em.

They played themselves with those thin, see through uppers. Not a good look.
